Ark Fortress

 In and around Samani Park, west of the Ark, is an exceptionally important structure often overlooked by tourists in their bid to take in the big-name sites emblazened on postcards and souvenir tea towels. This is Chashma Ayub Mausoleum, which purportedly marks the spot where the Prophet Job struck the arid ground and a spring of pure drinking water miraculously burst forth, saving his followers when those around them were dying of thirst. The city grew up around this holy site, and this may be a reason why the city's early Jewish community chose to settle here. In the days before Bukhara even existed, a millennium before Islam was even a glimmer in the Prophet's eye, the prophet Job came to the Zerafshan Valley and witnessed a great and terrible drought. As people perished of thirst around him, Job struck the dusty earth with his staff and a cool source of sweet spring water brought liquid salvation. Sudden appearance of a well had astonished the people by its vivifying spring

 The writer lived modestly. Household items all belong to Aini's family and date from before the revolution, reflecting the traditional Tajik and Uzbek way of life. The house museum of Sadriddin Aini (1878-1954), an educator, organizer of the first "new method" schools in Bukhara, an outstanding poet and writer, and the founder of modern Tajik and Uzbek literature, is located in the center of ancient Samarkand, close to Registan square. Sadriddin AiniAini settled down here after he had escaped Bukhara, having suffered from the repression of the Bukhara Emir.

 In Bukhara, near the famous historical complex Lyab-i Hauz, the well-known architectural monument Kukeldash Madrasah is located (built in 1568 - 1569). It is the largest Bukhara madrasah and one of the largest ones in Central Asia. It was built during the reign of Abdullah-Khan II and was funded by Bukhara governor Kulbab who ruled the city under several khans and managed to maintain good relations with all of them.  Kukeldash Madrasah was also a unique building of its time in terms of architecture. Virtually all the madrasahs then had the similar design of a solid rectangle with a large decorated portal and a courtyard. Kukeldash Madrasah has no solid walls. Instead, they are walls with niches and balconies with stucco ornaments. There are 160 hujra cells in the madrasah, filling the both floors along the perimeter of the spacious courtyard. The madrasah still remains in good condition despite the fact that once the portal was heavily damaged by an earthquake and was fixed with just

 So Hi everyone who every day read and see my practice blog .So today we visited amazing place in Bukhara Nodir Devonbegi Madrasah. Madrasah in Bukhara, part of the architectural ensemble of the XVI-XVII centuries Lyabi-house. The madrasah was built in 1622-1623. by the vizier of Imamkuli-khan, Uzbek dignitary Nodir Devon-run as a caravanserai, but was later converted into a madrasah. In 1993, the madrasah, along with other monuments of the historical center of Bukhara, was included in the UNESCO World Heritage The alteration of the madrasah from the karvan-shed is indicated by the layout of the building: there is no lecture hall typical of the madrassah, and there are only hujras around the courtyard. In Central Asian architecture, as a rule, instead of the main entrance, a lattice window is placed on the portal axis, and the portal diverges into different wings of the building. However, in the Nodir Begi Madrasah, a narrow entrance leads directly to the courtyard. The portal of the m

 Tim Abdullah Khan is a covered marketplace (tim) built in 1577, along Bukhara's primary commercial spine between Taq-i Zargaron and Maghak-i 'Attari Mosque. Once known as the Tim-i Kalyan, or Great Market, this bazaar lies southwest of the Abdul Aziz Khan and Ulugh Beg madrasa ensemble. Shaybanid ruler Iskandar (1561-83) most probably commissioned this bazaar, although his son, 'Abdalah II (1583-98) is popularly believed to have built it. It was a center of Central Asia's famed silk trade through the centuries, and is the sole survivor of erstwhile Bukhara's six covered markets. Tim Abdullah Khan is a self-contained, introverted market space, distinct from the famed crossroad markets (taqs) of Bukhara. Its square and symmetric plan features three grand entrances along the street façade facing west and three, relatively modest openings in the other cardinal directions. A large domed octagonal hall forms the building's center; it has four ancillary rooms built in

 Abdulaziz Khan Madrasah is a part of architectural ensemble of Ulugbek Madrasah, however, it is much bigger and more beautiful. The portal of madrasah is decorated with rich patterns, in the decoration of which was used yellow paint.  There are pictures of Chinese dragon and bird of happiness Semurg on the walls, here you can also read poems of famous poets. Madrasah has two mosques - winter and summer, the walls and ceiling decoration is extremely luxury. In 1988 there was built museum exhibition, where were presented dervishes’ staffs, carved doors, boxes and more.

 Central Asia has seen many rulers who left large footprints on the sands of the history, but Ulugbek will forever remain in the memory of the Central Asian peoples, not only as the grandson of Tamerlane, but also as one of the greatest scholars of Central Asia. Muhammad Tarag’ay (real name of Ulugbek) was born on 22 March1394 in a family of Amir Timur’s youngest son Shahrukh. Since the very infancy Ulugbek was placed under the care of Timur’s favourite wife Saray Mulk Khanum. It had been a regular practice of the Timurid era, so that the parents did not spoil their children. Ulugbek was one of the few Timurid princes who took part in the campaigns of his great grandfather, of course, most of the time he spent in the waggon-train and not with the army, but the grandchildren often visited Timur, who closely monitored their education and upbringing. Since early ages Ulugbek showed great talent in the sciences, thus being different from other Timurid princes. During one of the campaigns,

 Both the Kalan Mosque and Minaret were initially commissioned by Arslan Khan in 1121, with the famed Kalan Minaret concluding construction in 1127.[2] However, Genghis Khan destroyed the original Friday Mosque in 1220, leaving only the Kalan Minaret untouched. The Kalan Mosque and Mir-i Arab Madrasah of the current day were commissioned in 1515 and 1535 respectively by Shibani Kahn's nephew Ubaydullah Khan after he and his father Mahmud Sultan gained authority over Bukhara.[ The Friday Mosque itself bears similarities to the Bibi Khanum mosque in Samarkand, and the layout of the complex conjoining the Mosque and the Madrasah creates a "kosh", a unique square layout employed in 16th century Central Asian architecture defined by the spacing between both a mosque and a madrasah. The "kosh" created by the geometric spacing between mosque and madrasah augments the ornate façade of the Kalan Mosque and the magnitude of the opposing madrasah to imbue the individuals w

   Hello for everyone 😀.Today we visited in Miri Arab Madrasah. It was under Ubaydullah Khan that the real flourishing of Bukhara took place, the city acquired its own unique architectural style. In 1514, the Kalon Cathedral mosque, built under Karakhanid Arslan Khan (1102-1130), one of the largest in Transoxiana, was restored until 1404, when the construction of the Bibi-Khanim mosque in Samarkand, built by Temur's grandson Ulugbek, was completed. By order of Ubaydullah Khan, the facade of the mosque was decorated with a grandiose peshtak and a new mihrab was installed.   Not far from the Bibi-Khanim Mosque in 1530, the construction of the Miri Arab madrasah was started, which surpassed the size of the Ulughbek madrasah in Samarkand. The new madrasah was named after an Arab scholar, a native of Yemen, Amir Abdullah al-Yamani, a disciple of the influential Naqshbandi Sheikh Khoja Ahrar and spiritual mentor of Ubaydullah Khan Today, Miri Arab Madrasah is part of the Poi-Kalon archi

 According to some historical sources, before the construction of the Kalyan Minaret in its place was another minaret, a smaller one, which later fell, and in its place it was decided to build the current one.[7] The minaret was built in 1127 (XII century), when Bukhara was part of the Karakhanid state. The initiator of the construction was the ruler from the Karakhanid dynasty - Arslan Khan Muhammad [ru], who was known for his urban development. His name as the initiator of the construction is carved on one of the belts of the minaret. The architect of the minaret was the master of Bako [ru], who was later buried 45 meters from the minaret itself. In the will of the architect it was said that the minaret, if it falls, fell on his head, and bequeathed him to bury it in the place indicated by him. According to legend, the master builder, who laid the foundation of the minaret from alabaster and camel milk, disappeared, but returned only two years later, when the foundation became durabl

 So again have a good day. So today we visited amazing place which called Fayzulla Khodjaev Museum 🎨  So House-Museum of Fayzulla Khodjaev, located in the old part of Bukhara, in Goziyon neighborhood, is the bright example of the architecture of the XIX century. Fayzulla Khodjaev Museum memorializes one of the eminent politicians of Uzbekistan, whose active work fell on the beginning of the XX century. Fayzulla Khodjaev, is, undoubtedly, a key politician figure of Uzbek history of 1920-1930. His fantastic career and tragic final left many ambiguities, covered with discrepant myths of the XX century. Fayzulla Khodjaev, a native of Bukhara, belonged to the richest people of Bukhara khanate. At the end of the XIX – beginning of the XX centuries there was a state of classical Asian monarchy headed by the amirs of Mangyt clan under the protectorate of the Russian Empiree. Fayzulla Khodjaev’s father was a merchant- millionaire, who made a fortune on the export of karakul. When Fayzulla was

 Have a good day for everyone. So I start my my speech . Sitorai Mohi-Hosa Palace is a countryside residence of Bukhara emirs. It is located 4 km to the north of Bukhara and belonged to the last governing emir of Bukhara Said Alimkhan (1911-1920). The name of the palace means "stars meet the moon". Built in 1911 for the last emir, Alim Khan, the three-building compound incorporates elements of both Russian and traditional Bukharan architecture. This day was very wonderful, because this place captured us with every details.   This mirror located in this museum.This is summer place where king met her guest . This place called White Palace 🤍 Also there were peacocks🦚 So it is all ,I hope that this blog wasn't boring.

 I continue to acquire you with the sight of the very beautiful place Bukhara .And today I will tolk about The Baha ad-Din complex. Since the 15th century the Nakshbandia fraternity was one of the most popular Sufi orders in the world. The fraternity denied ostentatious asceticism and were actively engaged in economic life. Nakshbandi did not call upon his followers to become hermits, but on the contrary, wanted them to be industrious farmers, craftsmen, tradesmen and politicians. Normally sakohona is a small building, niche or simply ledge with a tap, fountain or jug, which are usually placed behind an iron grate. The last and, probably, the most important element of the complex is the trunk of an ancient ritual mulberry tree. There is a belief that those who have crawled three times under the tree will be given absolution for their sins, and sterile women will be able to bear a child.

 Hello everyone! This is my blog about my practice in institute .So I gonna tell you about my second practice day .Our first historical place was Samonids Recreation Park which is located in Bukhara . The Samonid mausoleum is a wonderful sight - one of very few buildings remaining from the early period in Bukhara, with brickwork that's as decorative as a cable knit pullover! But the recreation park is also fascinating, with everything from the Big Wheel and carousels to shooting ranges and dodgems.    This stretch of green space is a good place to relax and recover. Besides park grounds it has a section for amusement rides and, of course, there are plenty of vendors. So that is all.Have a good day🙃 Thank you for attention.
