About the place

Fozilmon Ota is a local pilgrimage site in the Fozilmon neighbourhood of Khanabad, a small town in the hills of Andijan region. Local tradition links it to Sayyid Fozilmon Dehlaviy, a holy man said to have lived in the 13th century. The present shrine was restored in 1805 and repaired again in 1996.

What makes the place memorable is its grove of 56 plane trees, many of them around two hundred years old, which keep the courtyard cool even in summer. Visitors come to pray, rest in the shade and drink tea. Half an hour is enough; dress modestly and keep your voice low.
