About the place
A hazira is an open burial enclosure, and this one belongs to the Chor Bakr complex, the necropolis of the Juybari sheikhs west of Bukhara. It was built in the seventeenth century on a base of six courses of stone, with a wooden frame and decorated brick facade.
Six steps lead up to a double wooden door carved with floral patterns. Inside are four decorated tombstones without names, marble slabs before them, and a small room once used for prayer and reading; tiled walls close the enclosure on four sides. A local historian notes that women were buried here.
