“If diversity is a source of wonder, its opposite - the ubiquitous condensation to some blandly amorphous and singulary generic modern culture that takes for granted an impoverished environment - is a source of dismay. There is, indeed, a fire burning over the earth, taking with it plants and animals, cultures, languages, ancient skills and visionary wisdom. Quelling this flame, and re-inventing the poetry of diversity is perhaps the most importent challenge of our times” 

Wade Davis.

Fayzabad khanaka was a big Sufi shrine. It was built in 1598 - 1599 to the northeast of medieval Bukhara. Khanaka has a big dome hall for collective meditations and hudjras for living. Its central hall is surrounded by an arch-dome gallery.
Another Sufi khanaka is close to Kalyan Mosque. It was built in the first half of the 16th century and named after Khodja Zainuddin. Outside the khanaka there is a tomb of Khodja Zainuddin marked with a special pole.
