Bahoutdin Architectural Complex

The Bahouddin Naqshband Memorial Complex is located approximately 10 kilometers northeast of Bukhara city and has been developed over many centuries.

[1] The complex was initially established after the death of Bahouddin Naqshband and has been a place of pilgrimage for many generations.

In 2003, the calligrapher Habibulloh Solih inscribed the 28th verse of the Surah Ar-Ra'd (The Thunder) on the wall near the "Bobi Islom" gate, using an Arabic script known as "Nasta'liq".

[2] In the muqarnas section of the gate, the names of the master builders and the year of construction are inscribed.

[2] The memorial complex also includes a minaret featuring an inscription in "Nasta'liq" script, indicating that it was built in 1885.

It is a construction with four arches, flanked on the corners by minaret-shaped turrets, which are capped by small domes.

At the complex, there is a mosque called Khakim Kushbegi, with a flat trabeation, supported by two columns and forming six painted plafonds.

From the northern part of the mosque, the small minaret is constructed from baked brick with lanterns from eight arched towers.

[2] This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on 18/01/08[clarification needed], in the Cultural category.
