Gulistān is an ode to the elaborately decorated floral manuscripts created throughout the Mughals' history. This contract acts a cover page for a full marriage contract.
Based off of flowers illuminated in actual Mughal manuscripts, this poster represents the most common flower motifs used by the Mughals, and includes their names in English and Persian (the language of the Mughals).
The flowers were illustrated with immense detail by artist Alena Samorodova.
The Arabic calligraphy was composed in the Nastaliq script by calligrapher Waqar Ahmed.
