Shayx Zayniddin maqbarasi stands in Tashkent as a mausoleum dedicated to Sheikh Zaynudin Bobo. Domes, minarets, mosaics, and intricate carvings shape its traditional Islamic architecture. Built in the sixteenth century, the structure measures about eighteen by sixteen metres and rises 20.7 metres. Several late-nineteenth-century restorations later changed the main structure.

Sheikh Zaynudin Bobo was a Sufi writer associated with the Suhrawardiyya order in this region. Tradition connects him with Diya al-din Abu 'n-Najib as-Surawardi, the order’s founder. After his death, the burial place became a spiritual centre, while the surrounding Orifon village grew around it. The nearby Shayx Zayniddin Jome’ Masjidi serves the local community.

A twelfth-century underground chillahona preserves one of the site’s oldest surviving features. Sheikh Zaynudin used this cell for forty-day meditation, known in Sufism as chilla. A fourteenth-century chartak adds another older feature to the grounds. Together, the mausoleum and mosque connect prayer, Sufi practice, and Tashkent’s architectural history.
