“Divan-begi” or “vizier” designates the second in command, after the Khan. Nadir Divan-begi was a rich merchant of Turkmen origin who built a caravanserai in the old center of Bukhara. At the inauguration ceremony, Quli Khan declared it a madrasah, so Nadir Divan-begi had to add the loggias and the gate with the two towers, cut at the level of the gate.
The portal has a nice decoration, presenting two simourghs (phoenix bird), two white deers, and a sun with a human face. These are uncharacteristic motifs for Islamic monuments but a new trend has been set some years before in Samarkand and Nadir just followed.
It is this building were they organize shows for the tourists, including folk music and dances and also fashion shows. The fashion parade, presenting dresses inspired by the folk art let me with the image of some huge, beautiful butterflies I let you to judge by yourselves.
“Divan-begi” sau “vizir” este o functie care desemna
in Buhara pe primul om in hanat, dupa han.
In 1622/23, Nadir Divan-begi din Bukhara, vizirul Hanului Quli,
a construit un caravanserai, langa rezervorul de apa din Lyabi Khauz. La
inaugurare insa, hanul l-a laudat pentru frumoasa constructie inchinata lui
Allah si a proclamat-o medresa. Nadir a fost astfel obligat sa schimbe
destinatia initiala a constructiei si sa ii adauge logiile din fata si
turnurile de la intrare, taiate la nivelul portii.

Ceea ce atrage la aceasta cladire este decorarea de exceptie
a portii, necaracteristica pentru monumentele islamice. Cu cativa ani inaintea
sa, un monument similar a fost construit in Samarkand si a servit ca sursa de inspiratie.
Pe fatada vedem doi simourghs (pasari
phoenix), doi cerbi albi si un soare cu fata umana.
