Toqi Telpak Furushon🪽

#day_9

Location📍:Toqi Telpak Furushon 

Date📆:15.05.2025

Each time we visit a new place during our practical training, it feels like opening another page in Bukhara’s story. One place that truly touched me was our visit to Toqi Telpak Furushon — a traditional domed market in the center of the city. I went there with my classmates, our teacher, and Mr. Colton, and together we explored a space that felt both old and full of life.



As we got closer, I saw the tall dome and beautifully curved entrances. The name “Toqi Telpak Furushon” means “Dome of the Hat Sellers,” and that’s exactly what it was — a place where people have sold traditional hats and local goods for many generations.




But it was more than just a place to shop. What amazed me most was the smart design of the building. The high dome let in natural light and kept the space cool. The narrow paths under the dome gave it a quiet, almost magical feeling. It showed how ancient builders didn’t just care about beauty — they also thought carefully about comfort and function.




Inside, the market was full of life — with colorful hats, turbans, woven fabrics, and small handmade souvenirs. It felt warm and welcoming. As we walked through, our teacher shared the history of the dome and how it once played a big role in Bukhara’s trade. Mr. Colton added his usual energy and pointed out how well the building protected people from the weather while helping trade flow smoothly.




At one point, I stood quietly in the middle and looked up at the dome. The shapes, the height, and how everything fit together — it was truly beautiful. I thought about the past, about the people who had worked and traveled there over the years.





Even though it’s not as busy now, the place still holds its spirit. I felt connected — to the traders of the past, to my friends beside me, and to the deep culture of Bukhara.

Ancient and Eternal Bukhara🕌

 Practice💫 #day_5✨️ Location📍:Ancient and Eternal Bukhara Date📆:31.10.2025 Visiting the “Ancient and Eternal Bukhara” monument was a truly unforgettable experience for me. The place is full of history, culture, and pride. As soon as I entered the cultural center, I was amazed by its beauty — the wide alleys, green gardens, and the grand monument standing in the middle. When I looked at the monument, I felt deep respect for our ancestors who made Bukhara famous all over the world. The golden decorations and the words written on the monument show how much knowledge and wisdom our people had. I especially liked the hadith: “Learning is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman.” It reminded me how important education is for everyone. The statues of three generations — the family, the grandfather planting a tree, and the father building a house — touched my heart. They show that life goes on, and our good deeds will live after us. The big globe on top of the monument made me proud b...

 Practice💫 #day_4✨️ Location📍:Magoki Attori Mosque Date📆:30.10.2025 Today was the fourth day of our practical training, and it became one of the most unforgettable ones. We visited the Magoki Attori Mosque — a place full of history, wonder, and peaceful beauty, right in the center of Bukhara. It wasn’t just a regular trip — it felt like stepping into the past. Some places make you feel like time slows down — where the walls speak of the past, and the silence feels special. Visiting the Magoki Attori Mosque was one of those rare moments. I didn’t just look at history — I truly felt it. The soft light coming through the small windows created a calm, magical feeling. The air was quiet and smelled like old wood and stone. I stood still for a while, just breathing in the moment, feeling the history around me. What touched my heart the most were the carpets inside. They weren’t just decorations — they seemed alive with stories. Each one had its own design and soul. I imagined the many...

Chor Minor🕌

 Practice💫 #day_2 Location📍:Chor Minor  Date📆:28.10.2025 🏛️ A Visit to Chor Minor — The Charm of Bukhara’s Four Minarets Today we visited one of Bukhara’s most unique and charming monuments — Chor Minor. The name itself means “Four Minarets”, and as soon as you see it, you understand why. Standing gracefully in the heart of the old city, Chor Minor looks like something from a fairy tale. When I first saw Chor Minor, I couldn’t stop smiling. Its four blue domes shone brightly under the sun, and the architecture looked so different from anything else in Bukhara. Even though the building is small, it has a big soul — quiet, beautiful, and full of history. Chor Minor was built in the early 19th century by a rich merchant named Khalif Niyazkul. Each of its four towers is said to represent a different corner of the world. Walking around it, I imagined how it once stood as the gate to a large madrasah — a place of learning and faith. I took so many pictures here! Every angle look...
