Calligraphy competition organised in Srinagar to promote art form among youth

Hindustan Times  

A calligraphy art competition was recently organised by a Non-Governmental Organisation in Srinagar with an aim to promote the art form among the younger generation. The art of calligraphy was introduced in Kashmir by a saint Sharaf-ud-din Bulbul Shah in the 14th century. Bisma Ayoub, the organiser of the competition, said, "I started an NGO named 'Shama' recently and as its first event, a live calligraphy competition is held to give promotion to the talent of calligraphy artists. Saba Lateef, another participant said," Calligraphy is one of Kashmir's traditional artforms but it had disappeared from the fore, I feel that coronavirus has brought some life into calligraphy.
