About the place
The Bahouddin Naqshband complex grew around the grave of the 14th-century founder of the Naqshbandi Sufi order, and from 1544 the Shaybanid khan Abdulaziz Khan gave it its present form. Along the path from the gate, on the left, lies the Dakhmai Shohon, the burial place of the khans.
It is a rectangular platform about 2.5 metres high faced with grey marble. The stone is carved with niches, small columns, cypress shapes and other ornament, mixed in places with inscriptions, and it is one of the finest pieces of marble carving at the shrine. The complex is about 10 km north-east of Bukhara.
