Day 5

 Chor Minor

The Taj Mahal in India Caliph Niyazkul-Beg developed a strong desire to build something like this fascinating building back in his kingdom.

Here is a dome that had a value as a venue for the muslim spiritual rites, which often included singing and playing instrumental music. Interior walls and the dome were decorated with religious inscriptions in Arabic. Remains of inscriptions can be seen today.

Unfortunately, the madrasah in its entirety does not survive. Only part of the portal with a hall used as a mosque and the four minarets are still remaining. The dome over the hall allowed using it as zikrkhona prayer room where Sufis could hold their ritual ceremonies.

According to historical records, after visiting The Taj Mahal in India Caliph Niyazkul-Beg developed a strong desire to build something like this fascinating building back in his kingdom.
