44 springs & Tomb | чилучор чашма | 칠루초르 챠슈마 @ Shahritus | Шахритуз | 샤흐리투스 - Tajikistan
Chiluchor Chashma from Tajik means (Sacred or Holy) 44 Springs.
칠루초르 차슈마는 타지키스탄 말로 신비로운 '44개의 연못(샘)'이란 뜻이다.
이곳 칠리초르 차슈마는 타지키스탄 전국 각지는 물론, 나라밖의 우즈베키스탄에도 널리 알려진 곳이다.
이곳이 가진 특징은 이슬람 순례자들의 성소 聖所 이면서 아울러 휴양 관광지의 기능을 겸하고 있다는 점이다.
대개 신령스러운 곳으로 받아들여지는 장소는 경건하고 엄숙한 분위기가 연출되는게 보통이다. 그러나 이곳은 사시 사철 관광객들의 방문이 끊이지 않는 곳이기도 하다.
It is located in South of Tajikistan, near Uzbekistan border, about 12 km away from Shahritus. People all over Tajikistan visit this place for spiritual harmony and pilgrimage. Spring is a perfect time for this place to visit. As later it gets boiling for visits. Chiluchor Chashma springs have healing effects from depression, headache, fertility, hypertonia, and other. It is like a small oasis in the desert. The springs are full of fish, which worth to see.
Чилучор Чашма – так называется место в 12 км от поселка Шаартуз, очень известное во всем Таджикистане и в соседнем Узбекистане.
Здесь прямо у подножия небольшого холма, посреди раскаленной пустыни, бьют из-под земли пять больших водных источников, распадающихся на 39 мелких. Все источники, сливаясь, образуют канал шириной 12–13 м, в котором обитает большое количество рыбы.
Chiluchor Chashma (“Forty-Four Springs”) is a place which is widely known in Tajikistan and in neighboring Uzbekistan. This is because, from the foot of a small hill in the area which was previously a not desert (before irrigation works in the Soviet period), five large springs emerged from underground which, in turn, divide into 39 smaller ones. The water from the springs flows together to form a channel 12–13m vast and full of fish. It is interesting to note that the fish do not swim downstream in the canal but stay within 8–900m of its beginnings.(
Local people have a legend about the origin of the spring. When Caliph Ali (Hazrat Ali) stayed in this area preaching Islam, which was a new faith for the local population, the nearby Romit River dried up. Ali then cursed the river, calling it Kofarnihon, i.e., the “faithless river.” After arriving at present-day Chiluchor Chashma, Ali offered up a prayer to Allah asking for water, hit the ground at the foot of the nearby hill, and where he touched the ground with his fingers, five of the purest springs welled up.
