Bukhara: the historic centre

Nadir Divan-Beghi Madrasah

Inside Nadir Divan-Beghi Madrasah, to the west of the Lab-i Hauz (Labi Hovuz) pond. Nadir Divan-Beghi was an important grandee, vizier, and also an uncle of the Emir of Bukhara, Imam Quli Khan, who ruled from 1611-1642. Initially, Nadir Divan-Beghi ordered to build a khanaka (a place for Sufis to reflect and rest); later a caravansari was added. However, at the opening ceremony, Imam Quli Khan said that caravansari was built in the glory of the Allah, therefore the vizier had to reconstruct it into the Madrasah.
