The art of woodcarving is a dying tradition, Mahajati laments.
Most of our artists are about 45 years of age.
Some of them are Hafiz Quran and Imam of neighboring mosques.
We are doing our utmost effort in preserving this art and promoting the beauty of Islam all together.
The work is constantly changing and improving with more intricate and unique pieces constantly being produced.
Our artisans devote lots of time to learning and exploring, Anwar explains.
Mahajati’s founder goes on to say that their products are different from ordinary wall art.
Every piece you purchase is not only an art, but it has identity, meaning, and purpose.
Be sure to watch the carving process firsthand in the video below.
While much of the work focuses on calligraphy, some pieces decorate with flowers and leaves.
Mahajati achieved global attention across art sites from a large-scale model of Makkah al-Mukarramah, or Mecca.
Buildings with detailed facade work seem to peel off a single piece of wood.
Mahajati says that these works are not just wall art.
Every piece you purchase is not only an art, but it has identity, meaning, and purpose.
Watch the incredible process of the artisans of Mahajati.
