Chashma complex

The Chashma complex today includes several key structures:

1. The Holy Spring (Chashma): Central to the complex, the spring’s water is believed to have healing properties due to its mineral content. Many people bring containers to collect water from the spring, which is believed to have healing properties and to be “blessed.”

2. Juma Mosque: Constructed in the 16th century, the Juma Mosque is known for its large 16-meter dome. Locally known as “Chilsutun,” the mosque has 16 beautifully sculpted columns, with the western side featuring 10 columns due to a wider ceiling. Its interior features intricate wood engravings and elements of Central Asian décor, providing a serene environment for worship.

3. Panjvakta Mosque: Also dating back to the 16th century, the Panjvakta Mosque is the oldest monument within the complex.

4. Bathhouse: Built in the early 20th century by master craftsmen from Bukhara, the bathhouse is designed in an oriental style, complete with changing rooms and bathing areas. 

5. Mazar (Mausoleum): According to the historian Narshahi, it is the burial site of companions of the Prophet Muhammad who personally knew him. 

The main attraction of the complex is located to the left front of the Juma Mosque, where the main source of the chasma is located. The five fingers well, located to the right of the chasma, is also a religious area, said to have a handprint at the bottom of its 6-meter depth. Visitors can walk along the path to the left to view the fish in the spring and take photos from the southern raised area.

Continuing up the steps to the upper area, visitors will find two decorated tombs (mazars). The first tomb has a blue dome and is enclosed, while the second tomb has a dome with open arches, allowing visitors to view the tomb.
