INDIEN, Itimad-ut-Daulah - Mausoleum
Das Itimad-ud-Daula-Mausoleum wurde in den Jahren zwischen 1622 und 1628 von Nur Jahan, der Hauptfrau des Mogulherrschers Jahangir, für ihren Vater Mirza Ghiyas Beg errichtet. Dieser stammte aus Persien und erhielt wegen seiner Verdienste als Schatzmeister und später als Wesir des Reiches den Ehrentitel Itimad ud-Daula („Stütze des Staates“). Mirza Ghiyas Beg war gleichzeitig Großvater des 5. Mogul-Herrschers Shah Jahan und von dessen Frau Mumtaz Mahal. Das vergleichsweise kleine, aber überaus kostbar ausgestattete Grabmal steht in Agra (Indien).

A Friday mosque built in 1437 by Ulugh Beg in honor of his father Shah Rukh, its name meaning “Blue Dome”. Located immediately behind the Kok Gumbaz Mosque is the so-called “House of Meditation”, a mausoleum built by Ulugh Beg in 1438 but apparently never used for burials.
Kuk Gumbaz Mosque is an architectural monument located in Shahrisabz, Qashqadaryo Region, Uzbekistan. The mosque was built between 1434 and 1435 by Ulug Beg Mirzo for his father Shah Rukh Mirzo. Historical inscriptions with the names of the Timurids and the time of construction have been preserved in the porch of the mosque.
Kuk Gumbaz Mosque is the main mosque in the ensemble of Dorut Tilavat (located in the south of Shahrisabz, near the "Chorsu" shopping complex). It was built on the opposite side of Gumbazi Sayidon Mausoleum and Shamsuddin Kulol Mausoleum.
The dome of the mosque is lined with mosaic brick tiles with inscriptions written in the Kufic script. In the middle of the border, verses 1–3 of Surah "Fath" of the Holy Qur'an were written in large white letters on a yellow background. Under the dome of the mosque, the text of the Holy Qur'an "Sura Juma" was written in small letters on a blue background. This part was later repaired.
Mosque has a large dome covered with blue tiles which inspired the mosque's name.

This village called Bhuman Shah is in the Jurisdiction of P.S. and Tehsil Dipalpur of district Okara. It is located at a distance of 24 kilometers from Dipalpur on Dipalpur-Haveli Lakha road.

This building is now in charge of the Evacuee Waqf Board. The present condition of the building is miserable, the walls have developed cracks and the roofs have collapsed. In case this building collapses in the time to come an invaluable treasure of art will also be destroyed with it.
Le Shâh-i Zinda est un ensemble de mausolées timourides, construits entre la fin du XIVe siècle et la première partie du XVe siècle autour de la tombe attribuée à un saint du VIIe siècle, Qutham ibn Abbâs. Edifié au XIe siècle, le mausolée du saint devint l'objet d'un pèlerinage régulier, et après l'abandon temporaire du site après l'invasion mongole qui détruisit entièrement l'ancienne Samarkand, la famille timouride fit construire plusieurs mausolées et édifices, principalement sous le règne de Tamerlan mais aussi sous celui du petit-fils du conquérant, Ulugh Beg.
La nécropole s'étage à flanc de colline, près des vestiges des remparts de Samarcande. Les mausolées sont alignés le long d'une allée montant jusqu'au cimetière. C'est un concentré d'architecture, de coupoles de tous styles. La plupart des mausolées sont somptueusement ornés tant à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur. Le mausolée du saint est un lieu de recueillement.
Sans doute pas le lieu le plus connu de Samarcande mais pour moi le plus fascinant.

La nécropole de Shah-i-Zinda, à mes yeux le lieu le plus fascinant de Samarcande. Aussi fastueux soit l'ensemble des mosquées du Registan, c'est tellement touristique et mercantile que l'émotion n'avait pas été au rendez-vous. C'est dans cette nécropole que je l'ai ressentie.
The Shah Alam Mosque located in the Shah Alam. I was there with Ariffin yesterday.
Note: I'm rushing to my in-laws now, so have a great week my friends! One more thing, the new Flickr mobile interface is somewhat buggy and preventing me from commenting on your photos. I think I'll switch back to the old Flickr mobile interface.
