Said Mahruyjon Complex

History and layout

The complex stands in the Chodirli Eshon cemetery. In 1884 Muhammad Rahim Khan II (Feruz) had it rebuilt in its present form beside the mausoleum over the grave of Said Muhammad Mahruyjon. Two madrasas, a mosque, a pilgrims’ hall and a mausoleum survive; the tomb of Said Islamkhoja lies to the right of the entrance, and Mahruyjon himself rests in a small domed chamber inside the madrasa. The graves of Said Muhammad Khan, Muhammad Rahim Khan II and his grandson Temurgozi Tora are here too. The main madrasa measures 40 by 53 metres, entered from the south through a triple-domed vestibule. A full restoration in 2008–2009 also completed tilework planned but never executed in the khanate era.
