The former keeper of Ibanids mausoleum related the legend, according to which "600 years ago under the instructions of his father Shikabaddin sheikh, Zaynutdin sheikh removed from Bagdad to Tashkent. After his death the worshippers built little chortak on his grave. Later, this chortak was rebuilt by Temur, and after this more 3-4 rebuildings were made." The most ancient element of mausoleum is chillakhona (10-12 centuries). The Chortak on the grave of sheikh was ruined, but later Temur during one of his visits to Tashkent (probably in 1390) became sick and, hoping to recover, built the new building on the grave of Zaynutdin Kui Arifoni.  Chapter Navigation     Introduction   State     Kaffal Shashi mausoleum       Zaynutdin mausoleum         Sheykhantaur complex     Barakhana medrese       Kukeldash medrese    Response  Indicators    In the report     Source: Rtveladze L., Rtveladze E., Muslim sacred of Uzbekistan, Tashkent 1996  Web site maintained by:  À.
