Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the dynamic-content-for-elementor domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
The most unusual thing in the Juma mosque is the prayer room itself. Its roof rests on columns, the total number of which exceeds two hundred. The columns have different heights ranging from 4 to 5 meters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This room is a museum that tells about the Khiva woodcarving style at different times. Several columns date from the 10th century. and are of great interest. A couple of dozen columns date from the XI-XIV centuries, judging by the style of the ornament. The columns, dating back to the 16th century, are made in flat relief in clear imitation of the ancient masters. All columns are very harmoniously combined with each other, despite the fact that each of them has its own story. So, some of the columns were simply inherited, others were moved here from ancient buildings, and several columns became part of the military booty. However, they are united by the fact that they are all delightful in their rich ornamentation and unusual carvings, and the base of each of the columns is presented in the form of a jug and plants blooming from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
