Bukhara is considered a sacred city of Islamic civilization, located in the center of an ancient agricultural oasis in the lower reaches of the Zarafshan River. The name of the city correlates with the Sanskrit "vihara" - "shrine", "monastery". Medieval sources report that Zoroastrian magicians and idolaters translated "Bukhara" as "temple", "assembly of science". There is a proverb about the sanctity of the Bukhara land: "If in everything the light falls from above, in Bukhara it comes from the earth".
