Khonakhan Mosque, 16th-century mosque in Faizabad, Uzbekistan.

The Khonakhan Mosque features a grand hall with high ceilings and substantial windows that provide natural light throughout the interior prayer space.

The Faizabadi Sufi constructed this mosque in the late 16th century as both a prayer facility and a residence for traveling dervishes.

The mosque maintains its dual function as a site for daily prayers and a center for Sufi practices, continuing centuries-old traditions.

Visitors can explore the mosque's architectural elements, including its palace-like hall structure, during designated hours between prayer times.

The monastery structure incorporates design elements from the Timurid period, reflecting the architectural development of Central Asian religious buildings.
