Why is the Nadir Divan Begi Madrasah sometimes called “The Mirror of Sherdor”? We are standing here before the Xo’ja Ahror Vali qabrlari complex. This complex holds a fascinating story. The Xo’ja Ahror Vali qabrlari is intrinsically linked to the life of Sheikh Nasir ad-Din Ubaydullah, known as Khoja Ahrar Wali. He initiated the construction of a Sufi lodge here in the late 15th century. After his death, his tomb became a revered site. In the 17th century, Nadira Divan Begi added a madrasah to the complex. Interestingly, the madrasah’s eastern portal features a mosaic depicting a tiger-lion hunting a gazelle. This motif is also found in the Sherdor Madrasah on Registan Square, leading to the nickname “The Mirror of Sherdor”. The Xo’ja Ahror Vali qabrlari complex, with its blend of architectural styles and rich history, stands as a testament to the enduring spiritual legacy of Khoja Ahrar Wali. It offers a glimpse into the fascinating fusion of religious and political influence during his time.
