About the place

Podsho Pirim is a shrine complex in Bekobod village in the Buvayda district of Fergana region. According to local tradition the man buried here is Imam Shohi Jaliy. The tomb and the gatehouse are dated to the 15th–16th centuries, while the mosque that completes the ensemble was built at the start of the 20th century.

The complex is listed among the sites of the Fergana–Syrdarya section of the Silk Roads on Uzbekistan's tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage. It is a working place of pilgrimage, so visitors should dress modestly and keep quiet near the tomb. The site lies in the west of the valley, not far from Kokand.
