Karshi

General information

Karshi (Qarshi) is a town in the south of Uzbekistan, the center of the Kashkadarya region. It is located on the river Kashkadarya. In ancient times, it was called "Nahshab", "Nasaf" and "Bekbudi". According to historians, the present name of the city was acquired thanks to the palace built by the Khan of that time - Kebek. He called his residence "karshi", which means "palace". The construction became so outstanding that all the roads led down to it. So "Nahshab" was renamed into "Karshi" - "the palace standing on the river"
