Muslim Kamolon Cemetery In Tashkent

Cemeteries are great places to get a hint at a culture's taste, how the dead are buried, what are believed to be important attributes for eternity. Maybe the Soviet style of burial is your thing. Muslims have their own style, a little overlap with the Soviets, a little unique.

At Kamolon cemetery, an understated mausoleum in the center of the property.

Inside the mausoleum, a simple set of tombs. Grave etchings are common, similar to Soviet style markers. Bonus points for cramming Mecca into your tableau.

An overview of the cemetery.

One unique feature of a Muslim graveyard is the presence of mud mounds. They mostly look new and recently formed, a sign of constant upkeep and maintenance of the graves.

A power couple.
