 Chor-Bakr: A Journey into History 

As part of our practicum, we had a special chance to visit the Chor-Bakr complex in Bukhara. It was an unforgettable experience that helped us connect with the history, culture, and spiritual side of our country. Chor-Bakr is also called the “City of the Dead” because many respected religious leaders, especially from the Juybari family, are buried there. The complex was built in the 16th century and is known for its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful domes, and ancient architecture.


When we entered the complex, I immediately felt calm and curious. The area was very quiet, and it felt like a place full of meaning. We walked around the courtyards, looked at the old gravestones, and listened to a guide who told us interesting facts about the place. .


One thing that really impressed me was how everything was built to bring peace and reflection. I enjoyed taking photos and imagining what life might have been like during those times


This visit was not just about learning history. It was also about feeling a connection with the past. I realized how important it is for us, as future teachers, to understand and share our cultural heritage with the next generation. 


Chor-Bakr reminded me how powerful it can be to see history with our own eyes instead of just reading about it.


I’m thankful we had this opportunity, and I hope more students can visit places like this during their practicum. It made me proud of our traditions and gave me new inspiration for my future work.


Visiting Chor-Bakr was a meaningful part of our practicum. It helped me learn more about our history, feel proud of our culture, and think deeply about my role as a future teacher. I believe every student should experience such places to better understand our past and values.

 A Visit to Chor-Minor Today, during our practicum, we had the chance to visit Chor-Minor, one of the most interesting historical sites in Bukhara. Although it is not as large as other monuments, it immediately caught my attention with its unique design.  The name "Chor-Minor" means "Four Minarets," and true to its name, the building has four small towers, each with a slightly different look. I found it fascinating that each tower is said to represent a different culture, showing how diverse and rich our history is. When I first saw the building, I felt both curious and surprised. It looked very different from what I expected. The bright blue domes on top of each tower gave it a cheerful and peaceful feeling. Even though it was small, the building seemed full of stories and secrets from the past.  Our teacher, Mohichehra Temurova asked information about Chor Minar. We shared what we gathered from online websites.As we walked around, I felt proud to be part of a cult...

  Visiting Said Abdulhasan Poband – Discovering Spiritual Heritage Today, as part of our practicum, we had the chance to visit the resting place of Said Abdulhasan Poband, a respected religious figure in Bukhara’s rich spiritual history. Although the site is not very large or well-known to tourists, it holds deep meaning for the local community.  Visiting places like this helps us see a different side of Bukhara – not just its famous monuments, but also the hidden spiritual landmarks that are full of respect and tradition. When we arrived, the peacefulness of the place immediately caught my attention. The surroundings were quiet, and the atmosphere felt sacred. As I walked closer to the shrine, I noticed how people were offering prayers and paying their respects. It made me think about the strong connection between faith, history, and daily life in our culture.
