Khodja Nasreddin statue — Attraction in Bukhara City

Khoja Nasreddin Effendi Monument.

Located near the Lyabi-Khauz Ensemble in the heart of Bukhara, the bronze monument to Khoja Nasreddin is one of the city's most beloved and photographed landmarks. Unveiled in 1979 and created by sculptor Yakov Shapiro, the statue brings a playful spirit to the historical surroundings.

Khoja Nasreddin is a legendary folk character known throughout Central Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. He is celebrated for his sharp wit, wisdom, and humor, often exposing the flaws of greedy rulers, hypocrites, and fools through clever tales. Both naïve and wise, foolish and profound, Nasreddin represents the spirit of the common people, always finding creative solutions to life’s problems.

The sculpture captures him in a joyful pose, riding his loyal donkey, a constant companion in his stories. He is dressed in traditional attire, with a skullcap, curled-toe shoes, and a mischievous smile on his face. His raised left hand offers a friendly greeting, while the donkey—reins tossed casually over its back—refuses to budge, adding a touch of humor that reflects Nasreddin's quirky charm.

In Uzbekistan, Nasreddin is considered a folk hero and has become a true national symbol, especially after Soviet writer Leonid Solovyov popularized him...

Nasriddin afandi 1208 yili Eskishehirda tavallud topgan. Uning yoshlik chog’lari Akshehirda o’tadi. Uning madrasada o’qiganligi, imomlik va qozilik qilganligi, hatto madrasada dars berganligi rivoyat qilinadi. Bu xizmatlari tufayli taniqli Nasriddin afandiga aylanganligi aytiladi. Xalq orasida uning hayoti xaqida turli ma’lumotlar mavjud. Tarixda Nasriddin afandining Saljuqiy sultonlari bilan tanishgani, Mavlono Jaloliddin Rumiy bilan yaqin bo’lgani va hukmdor Amir Temur bilan suxbatlashgani aytiladi.Nasriddin afandining bosmadan chiqarilgan dastlabki xikoyalari 1480 yili Abul Hayr Rumiyning “Saltuknoma” kitobida o’rin olganligi aytiladi. 16 asrdan e’tiboran Nasriddin afandining latifalari kitob qilib bosmadan chiqarilgan. Bu kitoblarning eng qadimiysi bo’lgan “Hikayeti-i Kitobi Nasreddin” kitobi 1571 yilda yozilgan. Nasriddin afandining latifalari dastlab 1837 yilda nashr qilingan. Dastlabki rasmli kitoblar esa, 1869 yildan e’tiboran bosmadan chiqarila boshlagan. Xozirda dunyoning turli davlatlaridagi kutubxonalarda Nasriddin afandining 68 dan ziyod hajviya kitoblari mavjud. Bulardan 12 nafari Turkiyada o’rin olgan. Kunlardan bir kuni Nasriddin afandi qo’lida bir kosa qatiq bilan ko’l bo’yiga keladi. Qatiqni ko’lga to’ka boshlaydi. Nasriddin afandini ko’rgan aholi buning sababini so’raydi. Afandi miyig’ida kulgan holda ko’lda qatiq uyitmoqchiman deydi. Hayron bo’lgan aholi “Nasriddin afandi ko’lda qatiq uyitib bo’ladimi” deya hayratlanadilar. Afandi bo’lsa ularga “uyutsamchi?”-deya xozirjavoblik bilan javob beradi. Nasriddin afandi butun dunyoda xozirjavobligi bilan tanilgan xalq donishmandlaridan biridir. Bu quvnoq, hozirjavob, topqir qahramonning nomini eshitishi bilanoq kishi bir jilmayib qo‘yadi. Bu bejiz emas. Nasriddin Afandi hal eta olmaydigan birorta muammo yo‘q. U har qanday mushkullikka bir zumda iloj topadi. Nasriddin Afandining donishmandligi haqidagi latifalar ming yillardan beri xalqlardan-xalqlarga, tillardan-tillarga o‘tib, tobora sayqallanib, o‘tkirlashib bordi. Ezilgan xalq zulmkor xon va vazirlarga, hiylagar boy va savdogarlarga, tovlamachi domla-imomlarga o‘zining oqil qahramonini zid qo‘yib, ularga qarshi kurashib keldi. Nasriddin hamisha oddiy kishilar orasida yurib, adolatni, haqiqatni himoya qildi, amaldorlarning qing‘ir ishlarini fosh etdi, ularni masxaraladi, har qancha mehnat qilgani bilan egni but, qorni to‘q bo‘lmagan kambag‘allarning orzu va intilish¬larini...
