The Sheikhantahur Mausoleum (Sheikh Khavendi at-Tahur) is the main shrine of the Sheikhantahur architectural complex, located in the city center between Alisher Navoi and Abdullah Qadiri Streets.

Sheikh Khavendi at-Tahur was born in the 13th century in the village of Bagustan, now located on the banks of the Charvak River. The sheikh was a follower of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, the founder of the Sufi order. Sheikh Khavendi at-Tahur traveled extensively and, thanks to his extensive knowledge and ascetic work, earned the popular title "the wisest of the wise." After many years of wandering, he returned to Tashkent and settled near a sacred spring. Legend has it that in pre-Islamic times, this spring housed a pagan temple of Water and Fire. Sheikh at-Tahur, who died in 1355, bequeathed his burial here.

Amir Temur, who was treating a wounded leg in Tashkent with the spring's waters, ordered a mausoleum to be built over the sheikh's grave. This mausoleum survives to this day. Over the centuries, a necropolis with the burials of Tashkent residents arose around it, but during the Soviet era, the cemetery was destroyed. Of the entire complex of monuments, only the mausoleums of Sheikh Havendi at-Tahur, Kaldyrgach-biy, and Yunus Khan remain. The first two are accessible to pilgrims and antiquities enthusiasts, while the Yunus Khan mausoleum is located on the restricted grounds of the Islamic University.
