The arcs and the walls are decorated with geometrical and floral margins and the floor is covered with turquoise blue tiles. But the most beautiful thing about this bedchamber is the magical performance of daylight, passing through the stained glass windows. The reflection of geometrical forms in red, green, yellow and blue lights saves an unforgettable moment in every visitor's mind. That is why it is also called "The Pink Mosque".
