Oh yeah? I haven’t been to Srinagar but I can imagine similarities. Some mausoleums in Bukhara and Samarkand also had stunning wooden pillars and roof-work!
Nice reading. As usual. No doubt Bukhara was the most beautiful amongst the four visited. The city was mix of walled and modern urban settlement. When you stay outside the wall city and access these beautiful older structure through crossing the well maintained manicured gardens and a disciplined traffic on roads, you could imagine transforming yourself back to the hundreds of year of earlier civilizations - physically and mentally. I could even feel change in my walk and facial expressions.
It is indeed so beautiful! I hope you make it to Uzbekistan soon, you will love it and all these places are so stunning, the photos hardly do justice :)
Great article Ila.
Lot of insights about different aspects of Uzbekistan. Great stuff.
Praveen Mama.
Thank you
The wooden columns of the Bolo Hauz Mosque reminded me of the columns in Srinagar's Jama Masjid.

I can imagine. The mosaics are gorgeous!
Lit of similarity with parts of Kashmir. Strong culture and traditions. Next visit hopefully
