The Bach al-Din ensemble adopted the characteristics of the 16th century. forms of combining the necropolis with the ceremonial building; in 1544 , Abd al-Aziz Khan I, the sheikh’s burial was designed as a ground-level crypt, a dakhma with a marble carved fence on top, and some distance away the largest known building of the khanaka.

The mother of the ruler Abulfez Khan ( 1711-1747 ) ordered to build a mosque with two ayvans (terraces) at her own expense, and in the 19th century, Nasrullah Khan Khakim Kushbegi built another mosque. The minaret (tower) was built in 1720 ^[1] .

In the Soviet period, this shrine was in a state of desolation.

After gaining independence of Uzbekistan in honor of the 675th anniversary of Bahauddin Naqshband in 1993, the shrine was restored. At the initiative of the President of Uzbekistan, I. A. Karimov, in 2003, a lot of work was done on the improvement of the complex. Darvazahana (entrance room) with a high dome was built. The richly decorated ayvans - terraces were recreated. The extensive garden combined the sacred burial of Hazrat Bahauddin and the burial place of his mother into a single composition. Dakhmai Shohon (Necropolis of the rulers) was also restored, where the remains of some of the rulers of the Timurid , Sheybanid , Ashtarkhanid and Mangit dynasties rest ^[1] .
