KUKELDASH MADRASAH

General view of the Kukeldash madrasah from the direction of Chorsu canal in the beginning of XX century

Kukeldash madrasah is constructed very traditionally. Any Madrasah in the Muslim country usually has exactly this look. The facade of a building decorated with majolica and inscriptions a high smart arch entrance-Peshtak. Windows are supplied with sun-protection lattices - Pandjara, in patterns of ornaments we find twisted sacred for Moslems names of Allah and Muhammad prophet. Pass through Peshtak, the visitor gets into the court yard of the rectangular form surrounded with suites vaulted rooms - Hudjr, doors of which go inside. The courtyard often ends with a larger dome building - Darskhona (a room for lessons). Hudjrs served as habitation for students, and lessons, as a rule, were carried out in an open-air in a courtyard of madrasah, because the local climate allows doing it during the most part of year. Atmospheric precipitations in Tashkent are not often, it happens very hot in the summer, and in the winter the temperature seldom falls below zero.
