About the place

This mausoleum in the village of Fayziobod, in Uychi district of Namangan region, was built between 1725 and 1750 for Abdurahmon hoji, a holy man whom local people remember as Devona buva. The name refers to a devona, a wandering ascetic, a figure honoured in many villages of the Fergana Valley.

The building is square in plan, about 18.8 by 18.8 metres, and is a good example of village shrine architecture of the period. It is still visited by pilgrims, so dress modestly. Twenty minutes is enough, and it is an easy stop on the way between Namangan and Uychi.
