SIXTH DAY OF PRACTICE AT KUKALDOSH MADRASAH

 HELLO MY DEAR FOLLOWERS🙋🙋🙋🙋

WE CONTINUED OUR PRACTICAL DAY AT KUKALDASH MUSEUM

The Kukeldash Madrasah was built in the 16th century, shortly before the creation of Labi Haouz in Bukhara. Construction took almost a year, but an impressive building was created during that period. It is one of the largest madrasahs in Central Asia. Kulbaba, the emir of Bukhara, who was lucky enough to stay in power during the reign of several khans despite frequent feuds and struggle for the throne, was given the highest title at the court, “Kukeldosh”, which literally means “a close relative by mother’s milk”, something like “a milk brother”. Due to respect he had earned and good relations with all the khans ruling those lands in his lifetime, he was able to get approval for the construction of a madrasah with his money. As a result, the madrasah was named after him — Kukeldash. Later Labi Haouz, a famous place in Bukhara, was constructed near the madrasah. However, it would be a mistake to believe that the haouz and madrasah form a single complex because these buildings are quite different.

The uniqueness of the madrasah lies in its architecture. In a radical departure from the type of courtyards closed by walls that was usual for that time, the Kukeldash, on the contrary, is characterized by rather open and cheerful architecture. Instead of high walls, there are two levels of balconies in the form of outwardly directed ogival niches. There were 160 hujras available for students for rest and studies.
