Nurata is a
town in Central Uzbekistan. It is at the point
where the Nurata range tapers out and meets the
desert. The Nurata range is the southern ridge
that makes the Ferghana valley. There is a large
spring noted for it's miraculous powers and its
fishes.
Nurata Suzani are sometimes
compared to Mughal designs. I think it auspicious
to remember that Babur (Zahiruddin
Muhammad Babur), founder of the Mughal
Empire came from the small principality of
Andijan east of Nurata further up the Ferghana
valley.
