The necropolis of the Kokand khans, whose name means «tomb of the kings», built in the 1820s. Narbuta Bey and his descendants of the ruling house lie here, including Umar Khan, per visitor guides. The mausoleum is entered through a tall western portal faced with glazed brick and blue, green and white tiles. The tomb's wooden door is finely carved with plant motifs and Arabic inscriptions, and a blue dome rises above. Beside it stands a small mosque with a two-columned iwan and a painted ceiling divided into four panels. Nearby is the Modari Khan mausoleum, «the khan's mother», built in 1825 for Umar Khan's mother, with a blue dome and unusual red, green, yellow and blue tilework. The poet Nodira (1792-1842), Umar Khan's wife, who wrote in Chagatai Turkic and Persian, is said to be buried beside it. Visitors report a ticket of about 20,000 som covering the necropolis, the Modari Khan mausoleum and the Norbutabey Madrasa, per visitor guides. It is a burial place, so keep quiet and dress modestly.
