Modarikhan Madrasah

My third practice day

May 3, 2023

Day: Wednesday

Historical place: Modari Khan Madrasah

Location: Bukhara region

The 3rd May was the 3rd day of our practice. As usual, we went to Modari Khan Madrasah for knowing informations about it's history and taking photos of the awesome historical monument with my groupmates and practice teacher Aziza Abdullaevna. Our journey was enjoyable and interesting. We knew a lot of informations about it's history.

In the same district with the Samanid mausoleum and Chashma-iy-Ayub, not far from the park, stands one of the most attractive ensembles, "Kosh-Madrasah", which are typical of Bukhara. The word "Kosh" means "double" and, indeed, these two educational institutions face one another across a narrow street. The first of them is Modari-khan Madrasah that was put up by Abdullakhan II (Abdulla-khan) on his mother's behalf. The date of erection 974 hijra (1566-67) is inscribed with majolica in verse above the entrance. As to composition it is a standard educational institution with a hostel for students and instructors around the courtyard, public halls of the mosque and lecture-rooms - darskhana - along both sides of portal in the interior of the building. The main front is richly faced with multicolor brick mosaic.

So, third practice day has finished.We took a lot of pictures for memory and our blogs😉
