In the center of Panjakent, at “Sayyohat” Teahouse, an artisan center has been established at the initiative of skilled craftswoman Khayriniso Ganieva. Today, this center has become one of the important venues for the development of traditional crafts, while also providing employment opportunities for unemployed women.
The center has created not only opportunities for work, but also favorable conditions for learning various crafts. Women and girls here are able to master different types of traditional handicrafts and, alongside their training, engage in practical activities.
An exhibition of traditional crafts has been organized on the first floor of the teahouse. The exhibition features various examples of national handicrafts, including suzani embroidery, decorative embroidery, traditional cap-making, dressmaking, chakan embroidery, and weaving. Every guest or tourist visiting this place can purchase the items they find appealing.
There is especially strong demand for traditional clothing and ancient handicrafts. Tourists show particular interest in such products, purchasing them as souvenirs and symbols of national culture. This, in turn, contributes to the development of traditional crafts and helps improve the economic well-being of women.
Panjakent, a city rich in historical and tourism potential, welcomes numerous guests and tourists every year. As the number of visitors increases, demand for handicraft products also grows, and this center plays an important role in meeting that demand.
On the second floor of the center, favorable conditions have been created for young women and girls to learn various crafts. Here, they study the making of traditional clothing, embroidery, chakan embroidery, suzani work, and other forms of handicraft. This process gives them the opportunity to acquire professional skills and pursue independent work in the future.
At the same time, the teahouse continues its activities based on ongoing orders and serves as an important part of the complex. This harmonious combination of hospitality services and artisan work has made the venue even more attractive to tourists.
Thus, the artisan center established by Khayriniso Ganieva makes a valuable contribution not only to the revival of national crafts, but also to creating jobs and encouraging women to engage in meaningful and productive activities.
