The Pahlavon Mahmud complex, Pahlavon Mahmud mausoleum or Polvon ota mausoleum is a memorial monument in Khiva, Khorezm. The mausoleum complex has a total area of 50x30m, and was originally built in 1664 as a miraculous dome over the grave of Pahlavon Mahmud. Pahlavon Mahmud (1247-1326) was a local poet who emerged from humble craftsmen, and was also famous for his heroic strength as an unbeatable wrestler, and his ability to heal people. His tomb has been and is still considered a sacred place by representatives of Uzbeks, Turkmens, Karakalpaks and other peoples. This complex is also known in Khiva as “Hazrati Pahlavon Pir”.
According to his will, Pahlavon Mahmud was buried in his own leather workshop. Over time, this place became a respected pilgrimage site and later a complex named after him was built.
