Muhammad-Rahim-khan I reconstructed Pahlavan-Mahmud's mausoleum so, that necropolis of Qungrad dynasty arose 'at the feet' of the 'Khiva's saint'. Pahlavan-Mahmuas tomb is situated behind a low fence in the western wing and tomb of Muhammad-Rahim-khan I was built on the central axis of the mausoleum in a pentahedral niche. Later, in 1825, there was built the eastern wing where Aliakuli-khan (1825-1842) was buried. Gravestones of these three tombs are decorated with elegant majolica.
