History and architecture
The complex of Sheikh Kalandar Bobo was built in the 16th century by Rahmatulla Yasovulbashi, one of the khan's officials, and was completed in 1894 by Bikajon Bika, the sister of Muhammad Rahim Khan II.

Around the mausoleum of Sheikh Kalandar Bobo, who lived in the 16th century, a complex consisting of a madrasah, a mosque, and a minaret was built. The madrasa is entered through a 3-domed mionsarai (corridor). 3 rooms of mionsarai are interconnected with a classroom and a mosque. The pediment faces the north, and flower-like patterns are raised in its 2 corners. The minaret (height 18 m, base diameter 6 m) is located 4 m away from the pediment, in the center of the head-style madrasa. Bricks are drawn in a wavy pattern on his "belt". Only the shrine has been preserved of the 3 rooms of mausoleum.

According to another source, the complex of Sheikh Kalandar Bobo consists of a one-story madrasah and minaret, which was built at the end of the 19th century at the place where Sheikh Kalandar Bobo was buried. It is said that Sheikh Kalandar Bobo or Sho Kalandar Bobo was a sheikh of Sufis and came to Khiva with two dervish brothers to seek faith. The brothers like this city and they stay in Khiva. The residents of the city where Sheikh Kalandar Bobo taught Sufism built this complex as a way of respecting him. The mausoleum of Sheikh Kalandar Bobo in the complex is located on the southwest side of Sheikh Kalandar Bobo Madrasah and Bikajon Bika Madrasah. In 1997, the one-domed portal and the tomb were renovated in the complex.
