About the place

Khoja Ali Romitani, known locally as Hazrati Azizon, was a Sufi of the Khwajagan line, the tradition that later became the Naqshbandi order. He studied under Mahmud Anjir Faghnawi and earned his living as a weaver. Around Bukhara he is counted fourth among the seven pirs, the saints whose shrines pilgrims visit in a circuit.

His grave lies in Rabot village, Azizon mahalla, in Romitan district west of Bukhara. The present grave structure is officially dated to the 16th century. Romitan is often combined with other stops on the seven-pirs route. Allow about thirty minutes, dress modestly and keep voices low in the prayer areas.
