Today was the 2nd day of our practice We went to the place which is considered as one of the holy places in Islamic World. And it is Baha ad-Din Nakshbandi complex The Baha ad-Din complex is a cult ensemble located in the suburban area of Bukhara. The complex served as the center of the Naqshbandi Dervish order. Its head, Sheikh Bahauddin Naqshband, died in 1389. and he was buried near the village of Kasri Arifon (now in the Kagan district) near Bukhara.

Today was the 1th day of our practice. And I can say that it was so interesting as we went to the most ancient parts of Bukhara. The destination was Ismail Somoniy Mausoleum Ismail Samani Mausoleum (also the Samanid Mausoleum ), one of the oldest Bukhara historic buildings , is located at the site of an ancient cemetery in Samanid Park near the Registan Square .

Today our Practise was on The kukeldash Madrasah 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. For his close relationship with the khans the governor was given the title Kukeldash , which was one of the highest standings in the khan’s court and meant ‘a milk brother’. Later the madrasah was named after him. Many people believe that Kukeldash Madrasah is part of Lyab-i Hauz complex, but it is wrong: archaeological excavations and research proved that the madrasah is a separate structure that bears no relation to Lyab-i Hauz . Kukeldash...
