Nadir Devonbegi
Hello everyone 🖐️☺️
Today our next practise to Nadir Devonbegi .
The weather is very sunny
Now I am going to share my blog about nadir devonbegi.
Nadir Divan-begi ordered to build khanaka (a place for Sufis to reflect and rest), later caravansari was added. However, at the opening ceremony, Imamkuli-khan said that caravansari was built in the glory of the Allah, therefore the vizier had to reconstruct it into the madrasah. The Nadir Divan-begi madrasah is decorated in the style typical for all Muslim monuments of Central Asia. At the same time, the images of birds, animals and a human being - sun were also used in decoration, and it was uncharacteristic for Islamic monuments. The Nadir Divan-begi Madrasah was built on the model of Sherdor in Samarkand but famous lions at the portal were replaced with mythical birds of happiness.
The transformed the caravansari into madrasah, the vizier ordered to attach a loggia, a portal and angular towers to its main façade, and to add the second floor for living rooms – hudjrs. As for khanaka, it had a form of a multichamber building with the central dome hall. Hudjrs were not on the second but on the first floor, in lateral walls and building corners. The main entrance had extended form, untypical for Central Asia.
Divan-begi Madrasah is a part of the architectural complex located round well-known Lyabi-Hauz in Bukhara. The madrasah building, as well as khanaka nearby, were named after vizier Nadir by whose order they were constructed. Vizier Nadir served at a court yard of one the strongest and powerful representatives of Ashtarkhanid dynasty Imamkuli-khan, who ruled in Bukhara in 1611-1642. The board of Imamkuli-khan was one of the most stable and relatively peaceful for the whole history of Ashtarkhanids in Bukhara. It was time when governors paid attention not only to constant wars, but also to town-planning.
According to legend, Nadir divbegi planned to open a caravanserai and earn some extra money: Lyabi Khauz square was a busy shopping area at that time, so there would be no end to the guests. But an overlay came up: at the time of the discovery, Khan Imamkuli, for his own reasons, called the construction of the madrasah, a spiritual school.
As a result, Nadir Devonbegi parted with plans to earn extra money and gave the building to believers, especially since it was opposite the khanaka, built by the same unlucky divabegi. However, this was not in vain and Nadir earned the glory of a great philanthropist and defender of Islam.
The portal of the madrasah is decorated with mosaic images of fallow deer and two Simurg birds that look at the sun. The remains of the mosaics are visible on the side facades.
See you soon our next practise . 🖐️
