History and today
Sayyid Amir Kulol was the sixth master in the Khwajagan chain, and Bahauddin Naqshband studied under him. The complex holds his grave, a mosque, a minaret, an ablutions house and a pool. The 41-step Mir Kulol Friday mosque on the east side of the village was demolished in 1937; a new Friday mosque was built in the complex after independence.
The mausoleum was rebuilt in 1995, and in 2007 the whole complex was reconstructed with a double-domed tomb, gatehouse, minaret, pool and garden. The interior is finished in white marble, and the tombstone is of marble from Gʻozgʻon.
