About the place
According to his descendant Atkhan Kadyrov, Muin-buva came from a farming family in Samarkand, studied in Karshi, became a master builder and khalfa, a guild elder, and built this tomb for himself with craftsmen from Samarkand. Old residents dated its completion to 1845, while the Tashkent encyclopedia gives 1883.
The mausoleum was once the main building of a small religious complex that is otherwise lost. It stands at 89 Karasaray Street.
