Nadir-Divan-Begi Madrasah in Bukhara, built in 1622-1623, is part of the architectural ensemble of the XVI—XVII centuries Lyabi-House. Initially, this structure was built by the vizier of Imamkuli Khan, the Uzbek dignitary Nadir Divan-Begi as a caravanserai, but later it was converted into a madrasah.
Directly opposite the madrasah is the khanaka of Nadir Divan-Begi (1619-1620), built several years earlier than the madrasah. The khanaka is a massive multi-chamber building. The main portal of the khanaka is made in the form of an original elongated shape, and at the edges it is decorated with epigraphic ligature.
Due to the presence of a large hall with stunning acoustics and convenient location, Khanaka of Nadir Divan-Begi has been the center of religious and cultural life of Bukhara for many years.
Between khanaka and Nadir Divan-Begi Madrasah there is a large rectangular pond stretching from east to west – house. Its shores are made in the form of stone steps made of powerful blocks of yellow limestone.
