Adolat Aliyeva

Today was our 8th practice lesson and we went to BOLO HOVUZ MOSQUE.


Bolo-Hovuz - machiti was built in 1712 based on the decision of the wife of the Bukhara government. According to other interpretations, Amir Shahmurad (1785-1800) built this mosque for public worship in order to be close to the people. The most beautiful mosque in Bukhara was completed despite the cultural and economic crisis in the Bukhara Emirate at that time.


The mosque is rectangular shaped. The prayer room during the winter time is a room with four columns and several entrances. The 12-meter-high iwan, comprising a 20-pillared hall measuring 42 x 10 meters, and bordered by bulged roofs sustained with twenty wood columns, serves as a summer prayer room attached to the three sides of the winter hall. The wooden columns rest on concrete foundation.[2] The interior of the mosque is typical 18th-century Central Asian style.


Thin columns made of painted wood were added to the frontal part of the iwan (entrance) in 1917, additionally supporting the bulged roof of summer prayer room. The columns are decorated with colored muqarnas.
