This is a handwritten Quran from Indian region. Texts are written in Naskh script within double red-line & blue-line frame. The first & last 2 pages are beautifully gold gilded & illuminated. Covers are not original. Very thich manuscript with 533 follios. It's undated but from the design & illumination I would safely estimate it was written between 18th-19th century.
