In 1950, for her contributions to Uzbek art and on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Uzbek SSR, she was awarded the honorary title of People's Artist of the Uzbek SSR.[6] In 1951 and 1959, she was awarded the Medal "For Distinguished Labour".[4] She was a laureate of international awards and the author of 17 books and textbooks on the history and theory of Uzbek dance.[1][4][3][5]
