Khodja Akrar Madrasah

The Khodja Akrar Madrasah (also known as the Nodir Divan-Begi Madrasah within the Khodja Ahrar Ensemble) is a magnificent 17th-century architectural masterpiece located in Samarkand. Built adjacent to the sacred burial site of the influential 15th-century Naqshbandi Sufi leader Sheikh Khodja Ahrar Wali, this impressive monument stands as a vital landmark of Central Asian spiritual and cultural heritage.

Commissioned by the grand vizier Nodir Divan-Begi, the Khodja Akrar Madrasah features a grand entrance portal decorated with striking tiger motifs—reminiscent of the iconic Sher-Dor Madrasah in Registan Square. With its serene inner courtyard, intricate tilework, and tranquil surrounding complex, exploring the historic Khodja Akrar Madrasah offers travelers a quiet glimpse into Samarkand's rich architectural traditions and spiritual legacy.
