A very hospitable and open place, beautifully maintained, good energy, everything is clean and tidy!
A modern approach to the dissemination of useful information is a large monitor on the territory, everything is perfectly visible and audible!
There are many icons for all saints inside! There are shops, you can buy everything you need.
Among the disadvantages: they do not accept bank cards for payment, there is no wi-fi connection!

The main Orthodox cathedral in Uzbekistan, a complex of buildings from different years of construction, the temple itself was built in the late 19th century. Several different buildings in size and architecture are assembled in this place on the territory of the cathedral, it turned out to be interesting. The temple and especially the bell tower are quite high, it is spacious inside, in the first part, under the bell tower and a little further it is dark, but in the second, where the altar is quite light due to the upper ring windows under the dome, a pleasant feeling of lightness is created. There are many bells in the bell tower of different sizes and from time to time you can hear them chime. In this temple in the 20s of the twentieth century, a famous religious figure, archbishop, doctor, writer, St. Luke, worked, who did a lot of good and useful things for Russia, a monument and a commemorative plaque with years of work were erected in his honor on the territory of the temple. There are few visitors in the temple on a normal day, mostly friendly and polite servants, and one lady stood near the altar, either a caretaker or a visitor, but very rude and even evil, hatred was read in her eyes, she kept trying to drive us away, something was not according to her.... they reproached her that where was her tolerance and forgiveness for people in such a holy place, she was so freaked out, rudely sent straight.... It is sad that such people can be, especially in such a seemingly holy place....
