About the place

The Madari Khan mausoleum in Kokand was built in 1825 for the mother of the ruling khan; its name simply means the khan's mother. It stands beside the Dakhma-i Shakhon, the burial ground of the Kokand khans, and forms part of the same group of royal tombs.

It is a small domed building with a decorated portal in the Kokand style of the early 19th century. Fifteen minutes is enough, and it is best seen together with the Dakhma-i Shakhon and the nearby Narbutabey madrasa. The quarter around it is quiet and easy to walk.
