A holy spring at the base of the Mausoleum is considered to have healing powers and no visit is complete without partaking of some water. The tree that you see in this picture is an old pista tree that had been given up for dead. It suddenly bloomed again in 1966 and is considered to be a miracle by the faithful.https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/img_6496.jpgSamarqand 21Amir Timur was a collector. He collected people, artifacts, books and remains of Holy Men ! The Khoja Daniyar Mausoleum or the Mausoleum of Prophet Daniel is one such example. It is believed that Amir Timur brought back the hand of Prophet Daniel so that Samarqand could be blessed. The hand was buried in a suitable spot at the outskirts of the city. According to legend, the grave has grown in the centuries since then and is currently 18 ft long ! https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/img_6456.jpgSamarqand 20I heard about Ulugh Beg for the first time at the British Museum in London. The exhibit was a jade cup he trusted would prevent him from being poisoned. Instead of talking about his expertise as a mathematician and astronomer, the Museum chose to focus on his superstitions. Sorry, Mirzo Ulugh Beg for having believed in that completely. I'm honoured to have made your acquaintance in Samarqand and look forward to reading about your invaluable contributions to the wold of science and mathematics.https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/img_6428.jpgSamarqand 19A reproduction of a diary of observations of planetary movements at the on site museum of the Observatory. It also housed a vast library filled with books that Amir Timur brought back from his campaigns and also those sourced by Ulugh Beg himself. Nothing remains of that collection today. Whether it was destroyed or hidden away, there is no record.https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/img_6416.jpgSamarqand 18The observatory was 3 storeys high and had a gigantic marble sextant for measuring the movements of the sun, moon, stars, and planetary bodies. Found during the archeological excavations, the sextant has points and digits carved on it to indicate the degrees of a circle.https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/img_61651.jpgSamarqand 5The Sher Dor Madrassah, one of the 3 madrassahs that makes up the Registan Square Complex.

Built in the early parts of the 13th century, there is an interesting legend attached to the mausoleum. There was a drought in the region and when the people of Bukhara were despairing of ever getting water, Prophet Job (or Ayub) appeared and struck the ground with his staff from where water burst forth. A well was built over the source and even today, people come to have the holy waterhttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/image9.jpegMonumental Bukhara 6The road to the Lyabi Hauz complexhttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/monumental-bukhara-52.jpgMonumental Bukhara 23Note the star shaped patterns and tiles at the Ulugh Beg Madrassah.

To the left is Willy Lott's house, a local farmer's house, and to the right is what looks like a stagnant pond. During Constable's times this was a shallow pond with a 'flat' bottom that one could 'ford' (cross) easily. And voila, the name 'Flatford'.https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/constable-country-boat-building.jpgConstable Country Boat-building"Boat-building near Flatford Mill" (1814-15). This setting was discovered only in 1985 when excavations to lay the foundations for a tea room to be built on this spot were carried out. The tea room has since then been shifted to the right (partially visible)https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/constable-country-flatford-mill.jpgConstable Country Flatford MillSetting for 'Flatford Mill from the Lock' (1811).https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/constable-country-a-boat-passing-a-lock.jpgConstable Country A Boat passing a LockSetting for 'A Boat Passing a Lock' (1826).

The interplay of trees, their leaves, grass and the water was ethereal... It was easy to understand why Constable was inspired by this place. https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/contable-country-stour-river.jpgContable Country Stour RiverThe Stour River at Flatford Mill (not in picture)https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/john_constable_the_hay_wain.jpgJohn_Constable_The_Hay_WainThe Hay Wainhttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/detail-of-the-hay-wain.jpgDetail of The Hay WainThe Hay Wain (1821) by John Constablehttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/constable-country-2.jpgConstable Country 2https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/constable-country-1.jpgConstable Country 12013-07-05T11:00:25+00:00monthlyhttps://sudhagee.com/2012/03/26/travel-that-trip-to-greece/https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/greece-happy-power-puff-girls.jpgGreece Happy Power puff girlshttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/greece-rotary-exchange-students.jpgGreece Rotary Exchange Studentshttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/dscn2280.jpgDSCN2280https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/greece-museum-of-delphi.jpgGreece Museum of DelphiThe Museum at Delphihttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/greece-olympia.jpgGreece Olympiahttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/greece-the-parthenon.jpgGreece The ParthenonThe Parthenon in Athenshttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/greece-meteora.jpgGreece MeteoraThe Meteora Complexhttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/greece-cruise-liner.jpgGreece Cruise Linerhttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/greece-bus.jpgGreece bus2012-03-31T11:55:50+00:00monthlyhttps://sudhagee.com/2010/09/23/hampi-where-mythology-history-and-today-coexist/https://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/remains-of-the-bridge-across-the-tungabhadra-connecting-the-old-capital-anegundi-and-the-new-capital-hampi-of-vijayanagara.jpgRemains of the bridge across the Tungabhadra connecting the old capital, Anegundi, and the new capital, Hampi, of VijayanagaraRemains of the bridge across the Tungabhadra connecting the old capital, Anegundi, and the new capital, Hampi, of Vijayanagarahttps://sudhagee.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/sunset-at-hampi.jpgSunset at HampiSunset at Hampi.
