INTRODUCTION: There are many peoples in the world, each with its own history, traditions, customs, and culture. It is worth noting that our Khorezm is one of the cities rich in ancient architectural monuments. The ancient buildings of Khiva, one of our most ancient cities, decorated with various ornaments and patterns, have not lost their beauty to this day. It is also one of the ancient historical regions located in the western part of Uzbekistan, and its spiritual heritage and architectural monuments have a rich system of signs and symbols. Since this region has long been one of the main points where various cultures and civilizations have formed, a unique and rich spiritual and cultural heritage has been formed here.

We can find such symbols in many places in the fortresses, temples and architectural monuments of Khorezm. The symbols expressed in each pattern have their own meanings.
