The courtyard of the mausoleum is rectangular and we can see some stones there. Kuktosh – blue stone was brought from Kuksaray and it was used as a stand under the throne and in the same time it was used when Amir Temur became king, his four close fellow men put him on white felted cloth and lift him on the kuktosh. Another stone was used for religious dictations. The basin made of stone was used for bathing. In another sources it was used as to count Amir Temur`s fleet before and after the campaigns by filling up the basin with pomegranates juice.
The stone stand which had been used in the interior of Bibikhanym cathedral mosque and a part 7m stone column which was one of the 480 columns.
The madrasah had been two storied and having its own courtyard, consists of 29 hujras, 2 summer and 2 winter classrooms and a mosque too.
Here, the friends of Muhammad Sultan studied according to his order. The khanakah at the right was the hotel for foreigners and the residence of dervishes.
The master-architect focused attention to the cupola on the finishing of the mausoleum. The lower circle of the dome is 15 m, the height of the dome is 12,5m, (from interior is 23m, from outside is 33m, (10m difference between interior and exterior cupola is the space)) the weight of the dome is insensible. The motley finishing of the dome assigns great importance. For achieving a grandiose appearance of the monument, the second cupola was made above the exterior cupola. The surface of the cupola is covered with glazed mosaics. There are beautiful décors on the majolica which suit to the mosaics in size. Earlier, the entrance to the mausoleum had been through northern door, the eastern door opened by Mirzo Ulugbek in 1425. Because, according to the Islamic rules, entrance from head side of the mausoleum is disrespect. The four domed gallery “Rahravon” carries to the interior of the mausoleum. At the entrance, the doors made at that period involve the attention. |
