THE CHAHAR BAGH TRADITION AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF GARDEN ARCHITECTURE DURING THE TIMURID PERIOD

Muhriddin Xolov ,

Abstract

The Timurid dynasty was one of the most influential dynasties in the history of Central Asia, making significant contributions to the development of science, architecture, and art. Alongside the palaces, madrasas, and mausoleums constructed by its rulers, gardens occupied a special place in Timurid cultural heritage. The Timurid sovereigns paid great attention to the beauty of nature and commissioned magnificent gardens around major cities. These gardens served not only as places of recreation but also as venues for state ceremonies, scholarly discussions, and cultural events. During the Timurid period, gardens were generally designed according to the traditional Persian-Islamic “Chahar Bagh” (four-part garden) layout. They were typically divided into four sections, intersected by canals, streams, or pools. Fruit trees, colorful flowers, and shaded pathways constituted the main features of these gardens.
