The most interesting and world famous pilgrimage sites

 There are many interesting places , one of them "Chor Bakr" and I talk about it .....

By the tenth century Chor-Bakr Cemetery had become the burial place of the dynasty of the descendants of the Dzhuybars. By 1560, Sheybanid khan Abdullakhan II, who wanted to leave a reference about this great clan in the history, commanded to build a mosque, a khanaka and a madrasah on the site. Scientist- historians agree that the gesture was to show the gratitude of the ruler of his mentor, who left this world in 1563. Over time, Chor-Bakr, whose name translates as "four brothers"  took all the brothers of the dynasty .




Gradually, the Chor-Bakr Memorial Complex was formed around their graves and it became one of the key monuments of Bukhara. Powerful local Sheikhs known as Juybars earned particular influence in the 16th century when Sheikh Khoja Juybari served as a mentor to Bukhara's ruler, Abdullakhan II. His advice was highly valued in the royal court and the Juybars subsequently participated in diplomatic and trade missions, served as advisors for the formation of state policies and actively engaged in charitable and educational activities.

Abu Bakr Said's tomb is located north of the center and can be reached through a brick passageway about 50 meters long.After Khoja Juybari's death, he is buried next to his ancestors, and his son Khodja Kalon becomes the next sheikh of the Naqshbandiya brotherhood, to whom father's power was passed.




Since this moment, Chor-Bakr has become the family shrine of Juybari sheikhs. The name Chor-Bakr itself translates as "four Bakr", which appeared about a hundred years after the death of the Khodja Juybari. It may be a distorted version of the term "chor bagh", which translates from Persian as "four gardens" or a garden consisting of four parts.



Since 2008, Chor-Bakr has been proposed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site but has not been yet confirmed.
