Kokand, in the western Fergana Valley

The burial place of Omar Khan's widow, the famed poet Nodira, killed on order of the Khan of Bukhara when Kokand fell under its sway in 1842 and she protested; she was originally buried in the Modari-khan mausoleum until she was adopted in the mid-20th century by the Soviets as a model Uzbek woman and moved to this prominent place beneath a white stone tablet, beyond Dakhma-i- Shokhon, near the graveyard’s south gate, with a monument in the form of a white marble arch constructed above her grave.
