features
The mausoleum as it looks today was built by Gulam Husain, the Khan's architect in 1542 AD. The mausoleum was rebuilt in the 19th century. It is an asymmetrical mausoleum with several domes and a portal (hanaka). Such hanakas were often built for hikers. These could find shelter in the residential units ( hudschra ). Such complexes used to include a mosque and a dining room (oshkhona).
To the south of the main building, in a courtyard, there are later tombs (sagana). Next to the mausoleum is a house where Khodja Ahrori-vali lived. He was a supporter of Kaffal Shashi and Baha-ud-Din Naqschband and was of the opinion that believing people should never beg. You should make money yourself. He stuck to Naqschband's motto: "Dil ba eru dast ba kor", which means something like: "the heart with God, the arms at work."
