One of the interesting things about this mosque is that it does not reflect any architectural element of Bukhara in its architecture inspiration behind the architecture is not clear. But that does not take away the fact that Chor Minor is a picturesque structure. Who got this mosque built? Answer is Khalif Niazkul, a rich Bukharian Merchant spent his money to build this mosque. He built the madrasa with a cosy courtyard and a pond, a summer mosque, and a four-turret building opening into the architectural complex.
