KARSHI

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 683 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JUN-KHA
KARSHI , a town of
Bokhara
 , in Central
Asia
 , situated 96 m. S.E. of the city of
Bokhara
 , in a plain at the junction of two main confluents of the Kashka-darya. It is a large and straggling place, with a citadel, and the
population
  amounts to 25,000. There are three colleges, and the Biki mosque is a fine building inlaid with blue and
white
  tiles. Along the river stretches a fine
promenade
  sheltered by poplars. Poppies and tobacco are largely grown, the tobacco being deemed the best in Central
Asia
 . There is a considerable
trade
  in
grain
 ; but the commercial prosperity of Karshi is mainly due to its being a
meeting
 -point for the roads from Samarkand, Bokhara, Hissar, Balkh and Maimana, and serves as the market 'where the Turkomans and Uzbegs dispose of their carpets, knives and fire-arms. Its coppersmiths turn out excellent
work
 . Karshi was a favourite residence of Timur (Tamerlane).
