About the place
The complex grew up in the Chadirli Eshon cemetery around the tomb of Sayyid Muhammad Mahruyjan. In 1884 the khan of Khiva, Muhammad Rahim Khan II (Feruz), ordered a madrasa and other buildings to be added beside the mausoleum.
It lies in Dishan Kala, about 400 metres north-east of the Bagcha Darvoza, the north gate of Itchan Kala, on Amir Temur street. It is protected heritage and is now looked after by the Waqf charitable foundation.
