Day 2. Minaret Kalyan.

 Minaret Kalyan. Ensemble of Poyi Kalyan.

The minaret, designed by Bako, was built on an earlier existing structure called Kalyan by the Qarakhanid ruler Mohammad Arslan Khan in 1127 to summon Muslims to prayer five times a day. An earlier tower was collapsed before starting this structure which was called Kalyan, meaning welfare, indicating a Buddhist or zoroasterian past. It is made in the form of a circular-pillar baked brick tower, narrowing upwards. It is 45.6 metres (149.61 ft) high (48 metres including the point), of 9 metres (29.53 ft) diameter at the bottom and 6 metres (19.69 ft) overhead.

There is a brick spiral staircase that twists up inside around the pillar to the rotunda. The tower base has narrow ornamental strings belted across it made of bricks which are placed in both straight or diagonal fashion. The frieze is covered with a blue glaze with inscriptions.

Our today's second trip was so amazing as last one. It was full of fun as usual 😅. Our today's on duty students were Po'latova Nozima and Sevara. Today's topic converted into debate😅 we will ask questions and they gavve us questions too. 

Honestly, day by day my knowledge about our history is increasing because of this our practical lessons.
