POTD: Uzbek Women

From 2025 09 19 Bukhara

Today's photo-of-the-day was taken at the Bahouddin Naqshband Memorial Complex outside Bukhara, Uzbekistan. According to Wikipedia, this complex "includes the tomb of Baha-ud-Din Naqshband Bukhari, the founder of the Naqshbandi order, who died in 1389... It has een a place of pilgrimage for many generations... During the time of the Soviets, it was forbidden to visit the grave here."

Out of respect, visitors to the site wear modest clothing. Still, that leaves a lot of flexibility in clothing style.


"A saint rests nearby,
while bright scarves catch morning light"
along the pathway."
