The mosque with a minaret is a beautiful temple with a rich facade decoration in the form of oriental carvings. Very often called the mosque of forty pillars. Twenty snow-white columns are beautifully reflected in the pond. The temple owes its appearance to the ruler of Bukhara Emir Shahmurad of the early 18th century.

The vault stands on columns, the ceiling is carved with floral and geometric ornament. The mosque has two rooms for hot and cool periods.
