Third day of practice (Wednesday)

 The Baland Mosque is a guzar mosque in Bukhara (16th century). The building has a murabba construction (made of baked bricks), with thick walls. The mosque is built on stones. High mosque's pants. and the eastern sides are surrounded by a porch with a decorative ceiling. Beautiful signs are covered under the inner walls. The dark green signs on the east side are covered with 6-cornered blue ceramic tiles. The bricks are surrounded by delicate plant-like figures and are covered with golden water (these are well-preserved). The signs on the western side of the wall are covered with tiles and framed with kundal patterns. The bars on the windows of the high mosque are made of ceramic bricks. The area around the altar is decorated with ceramic tiles and golden water is applied to them. Its sides and top are covered with inscriptions in suls script made of rectangular earthenware. Muqarnas were made above the inscriptions, closer to the ceiling, and gold water was applied to them. The paintings on the walls (except the jan. wall) still shine as before. The ceiling of the high mosque is curved, has a pool, and is decorated with patterns. In its construction, the unique and elegant method of the architecture of the classical period was widely used. Architects of later periods copied the decorations of the High Mosque. The ornaments of the high mosque have fallen off, the patterns have shifted and darkened. The high mosque has been renovated several times.
