Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque

Abu Dhabi, UAE

The large chandelier in the main prayer hall is considered one of the world's largest mosque chandeliers. It was made by Faustig (Munich, Germany) and weighs approximately 12 tons.

It is made of gilded stainless steel and gilded brass (approx. 40kg of 24 carat galvanized gold was used); the glass panels are studded with Swarovski crystals.

I like the symmetry here, and the lamp is spectacular. Color in the lamp in particular is wonderful as well. V.

I'm not so sure God or Allah as they call him/her will be much impressed, a single small light from a candle would probably do just as well ... but to mankind, wow, impressive and beautiful!
