About the place

Khoja Arif Revgari was a Sufi master of the Khwajagan line and a pupil of Abdukhaliq Gijduvani. Bukhara tradition counts him as the second of the 'seven pirs', the saints whose shrines pilgrims visit in turn around the oasis. He is remembered for spreading the teaching of his master.

His grave lies in the Khoja Orif neighbourhood of Shofirkon, also called Tagitepa. The tomb as it stands is officially dated to the 17th century, and the site has been under state protection since 2019. It is a quiet, local place of prayer; dress modestly and allow about half an hour.
