TODAY WE WENT 9:30 . 

AND OUR TEACHER GIVE US A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THERE

As with the dome, the ruin is devoid of decoration apart from the monumental pishtaq (main entrance), where some tilework remains. It comprises a blue-and-white border of stylized flowers, or vines, inset with a series of square Kufic inscriptions. The quality of the decoration is subpar compared with many of the city's other mausolea, but is important from a historical perspective as it remains in an unrestored state.


The area around the mausoleum is one of the city's largest and oldest burial grounds, and close to the site of a former market known as the "green bazaar".


The life and career of Turki Jandi himself is something of a mystery—this author has not been able to find any reliable biographical information. The surname "Jandi" may be a reference to a place of birth, perhaps the medieval town of Jand (a.k.a. Jend), which was a winter capital of the Seljuqs along the Syr Darya (Jaxartes) river, prior to its destruction at the hands of the Mongols.


Bird lovers may be interested to hear that the monument is crowned with a gigantic stork's nest, one of the few (and perhaps the only one) left in the city. Storks used to be common in Bukhara before land use changes and chemical fertilizers introduced in the Soviet era decimated their numbers from the mid-20th century onward.
