About the place

This mosque stands in the Bahouddin Naqshband memorial complex in Kasri Orifon village, Kogon district, facing the Bahouddin mosque; you reach it through the Bab us-Salam gate. It was built under Amir Muzaffar, who ruled the Emirate of Bukhara from 1860 to 1885.

The outer porch rests on five wooden pillars and the hall has glazed windows. Much of the original interior was removed in the 1940s and 1950s, and Bukhara craftsmen restored the building after independence. Visit it as part of a trip to the shrine of Bahouddin Naqshband.
