Hello everybody👋
I am Marjona Ilkhomova and today the first day of our practice, we were in Minorai Kalon.🌍💫
Today is very cool and rainy day🌧️🥲
There our teacher I.Zoirovna gave information us about the history of Minorai Kalon.
The minaret is part of the beautiful ensemble Poi-Kalon, located in the historical center of Bukhara.
The minaret,designed by Bako,was built on an earlier existing structure called Kalyan by the Qarakhanid ruler Mohammad Arslan Khan in 1127 to summon Muslims to prayer five times a day.An earlier tower was collapsed before starting this structure which was called Kalyan,meaning welfare,indicating a Buddhist or zoroasterian past.It is made in the form of a circular-pillar baked brick tower,narrowing upwards.It is 45.6 meters high,of 9 meters diameter at the bottom and 6 meters overhead.
There is a brick spiral staircese that twists up inside atound the pillar to the rotunda.The tower base has narrow ornamental strings belted across it made of bricks which are placed in both straight or diagonal fashion.The frieze is covered with a blue glaze with inscriptions .
