Description
The Pahlavan Mahmud Mausoleum is the shrine of Khiva's patron saint, Pahlavan Mahmud, and the dynastic burial complex of the Qungrat Khans. The ensemble lies south of Khiva's famed Allah ad-Din tomb, near the Islam Khwaja Complex in the Ichan-Kala (inner fortress). It was built in the fourteenth century around the tomb of Pahlavan Mahmud, who is believed to be a gifted poet, soldier, furrier, professional wrestler and healer of diseases. The complex today consists of a domed monastic hall (khanqah), yard and gate pavilion (darvaza khana) along north-south axis, with a summer mosque, Quran reading rooms (qori khana), kitchen and other ancillary structures arranged on either side.
