I visited Registan square in the morning and returned in the evening. It was being prepared for a music festival, and we were only able to see Registan for two hours in the evening.
A bronze statue of Ulugh Beg teaching his students.
These were set up for the music festival, and I heard the statues were displayed for a limited time.
This was also being prepared for the music festival.
Seats for the audience.
Ulugh Beg Madrasa.
The interior of the building is modern.
Ulugh Beg Madrasa is now a museum dedicated to astronomy, a field in which Ulugh Beg himself made significant contributions.
Sherdor Madrasa.
Gur Emir Mausoleum.
The interior of the mausoleum was stunningly beautiful.
Timur’s coffin, the black one at the center, is a replica. The original coffins are placed beneath the floor in the same position.
We also visited Ulugh Beg’s observatory, where a statue of him stands in front of the stairs.
It’s now a museum, but I made the mistake of taking a photo of a replica sextant instead of the original, which was disappointing. Afterward, we went to the Afrasiab Museum, but I didn’t take any photos there because I wasn’t feeling well. I was exhausted.
When we returned to the hotel, we rested for a while. Later, we had dinner at the hotel restaurant called “Registan.” Unfortunately, I couldn’t eat much because I was still feeling unwell.
