    The process of calligraphy is simple yet intricate. It has the following main steps:
    • Processing of stone/paper
    • Writing
    • Finishing

    Processing of stone/paper: The paper or stone is cut into desired shapes. Thereafter the surface is smoothened.

    Writing: Artists use calligraphy styles to write and paint different verses of the holy Quran. The art of Quitabat has been taught along with religious texts since childhood in Madrasas and advanced schools.

    Finishing: Once the writing or painting is done on the paper, it is turned over and burnished with a piece of stone called Hakik ka Pathar. This gives a shine on the surface.

    The stone pieces are smoothened using different buffs.
