| Description |
In the culture of every people and nation, cultural and historical objects, holy places and traces of great people, their customs, and morals occupy a special place. In particular, in the Central Asian region, especially in the Republic of Tajikistan, there are many holy places, fortresses, madrassas, and mosques, which in the past were considered a place of learning, education, and moral observance of people. Therefore, Tajik people treated these holy places with respect and caution and protected the monuments. Mosques, madrassas, shrines, and holy places
caves, springs, and their possessions seemed to influence the lives of people. Their actions were associated with mythical figures
people found peace of mind by visiting holy places and hoping that their problems would be alleviated. This kind of historical mission and rules lead to respect and preservation of cultural and historical objects and increase the responsibility of each property owner towards history, civilization, religion, and beliefs. The subject of this article is the customs and rules of visiting tombs and holy places from the point of view of ethnography. Research has shown that observing customs and visiting sacred places is one of the cultural traditions of the people, and people come to these places as a result of helplessness in the face of natural phenomena, life problems, health problems, and other reasons, and by visiting holy places, they can heal and resolve their problems. |
