A mihrab is a decorative recess or alcove found in a mosque that indicates the direction of Mecca, which is the holy city for Muslims. It is usually located on the qibla wall, the wall that faces Mecca, and serves as a focal point for prayer. The mihrab is often beautifully adorned with intricate designs, calligraphy, and tiles, highlighting its importance in Islamic architecture. During prayers, worshippers face the mihrab to align themselves toward Mecca, making it a significant feature in both religious practice and the overall design of the mosque.
