Langar. Abode and People.
Toshkent 2005.
The photo-album is dedicated to people living in Langar village hidden in the mountains one hundred kilometres from the city of Shakhrisabz. For many centuries the place had kept unique Islamic relics, which, for various reasons, got scattered throughout the world. One of the ancient and rare manuscripts of Koran, Qatta Langar, has a connection to this cosy and scenic corner of our country and its monuments.
Pictures in the album reflect present-day lifestyle of people in this village. Although the famous relics are lost and many secrets of Sufi rituals and Spiritual Path are forgotten, the monuments live on and continue to delight visitors and residents whose faces are bright and open and eyes are kind, and who embody high spirituality that still inhabits the hearts and souls of our people.
