UVAYSIY HOUSE-MUSEUM

Uvaysiy, of his real name Jahon Otin, was a woman of letters and poet born in Marguilan at the end of the th century. His talent, noticed by the Khan's wife of Kokand, least him to be housed in the palace where she enseignât the letters to the Khan girls. Despite many requests, the Khan still refusât her to leave her hometown, where he secretly built for her, at the location of her house, a new home to the same as she lived in her palace. It was only at the death of the Khan that Uvaysiy could join his home where she finît her days by dedicating herself to writing poems. His descendants destroyed his house in 1968 to build a modern residence, again razed in 2006 to build a rebuilding of the orignale house, which houses some books and photographs of descendants. The only witness at the time is a pluriséculaire mulberry sitting between the entrance and the iwan of the facade. The grave of Uvaysiy lies at the back of the house. To get there, ask a taxi to drive you to the «Gastronom» supermarket, one block away.
