About the place
The Devonaboy mosque was built in 1899 and was one of only eight religious buildings in the Andijan region at the time. Reconstruction began in the summer of 2019, and the new mosque opened in June 2021.
The new building follows the traditional plan of four porches and four gates. Two minarets, each 54 metres tall, stand at its sides, and the main hall is crowned by a dome 18 metres across. It now holds more than 15,000 people at prayer, and it has facilities for visitors.
