Pilgrimage tourism is one of the potential and promising types of tourism in the Kashkadarya region. Also, the shrines and holy places in Karshi district play an important role in the development of pilgrimage tourism. Historical, architectural and archeological monuments, monuments and specific cultural and ethnographic traditions in the region are the treasure of regional tourism. While regional tourism potential lies in Karshi city, Shahrisabz and Chirakchi districts, Karshi district also has many places of pilgrimage tourism that can attract tourists. Its peculiarity is related to the fact that it has a positive effect on the formation of a perfect person, both physically and spiritually. The following information shows archaeological, architectural, monuments, places of interest and shrines in Karshi district of Kashkadarya region. 2-picture Territory Total Objects of cultural heritage Places of interest Archaeo logical Architecture Monu mental Диққатга сазовор жойлар Karshi district 128 105 15 4 4 "Abu Mu'in Nasafi" complex, "Yetti tug' ata", "Hazrat Sultan" mausoleums, "Sheikh Shilvi", "Khoja Shamsiddin Khalvani", "Burkhaniddin", "Gumbaz", "Dasht", "Juma Bazaar" ", "Kakhlak Chorgumbaz", "Mirmiron", "Tosh", "Fazil Ata", "Khalfa Eshon" and "Khafiz Shirozi" mosques. American Journal of Interdisciplinary Research and Development ISSN Online: 2771-8948 Website: www.ajird.journalspark.org Volume 26, March - 2024 113 | P a g e According to Table 1, there are 14 main places of pilgrimage in Karshi district of Kashkadarya region. It should be noted that the Abu Mu'in Nasafi complex is a pilgrimage site in the district that is visited by tourists from all over the Republic and from abroad. The main reason for this is that the scholar (Abu Mu'in Nasafi) is known from historical sources to be a scholar who further developed the teachings of his spiritual teacher, the great Imam Abu Mansur Moturidi, and rendered incomparable service in spreading it to all Eastern countries. It shows that there are problems such as the low level of infrastructure in actively attracting tourists to other pilgrimage sites of the district, the fact that the existing ones have not been researched as individuals and objects, and have not been studied and recognized in the world. About Hazrat Sultan Abdulkhair Mazandaraniy, one of the other notable places of pilgrimage in the district: In 1254 Hijri (1838 AD), an authoritative history book written by Muhammad bini Noor Muhammad and published in lithography in Khiva narrates that seven corruptors passed with the title of Hazrat Sultan. In the sources, Hazrat Sultan Abdulkhair Mazandarani connects his family tree to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) through Prince Imam Hasan. Hazrat Sultan Abdulkhair Mazandarani came to Nakhlab, more precisely, to Karshi district of Kashkadarya region, the current city of Beshkent (the period of his arrival to these places corresponds to the end of the 11th century) in order to introduce Islamic rules and settled there. The religious title "Hazrati Sultan" given to him is in rank, which is often given to valiullahs, that is, saints, and the meaning is "Great, honorable, noble". The ratio "Mozandarani" means that the family was born in "Mozandaran" province of Iran. Today's history of the city of Beshkent, the enlightenment of the people has a worthy place of His Holiness Mazandarany. The mausoleum of Hazrat Sultan was renovated in the years of independence and is being turned into one of the holy shrines. Pilgrims from different parts of our country are constantly visiting this place. The most notable aspect is that the "Hazrati Sultan Abulkhair" mosque (2- in the picture) was completed and commissioned. All costs related to the construction of this new mosque were funded by the patronage of the residents of Beshkent, generous people and businessmen. Picture 3.

In this case, it is necessary to proceed from the interdependence of the holy places in Karshi district. As a result of the implementation of this idea, it is possible to increase the flow of visitors to the Kashkadarya region and, on this basis, to bring additional income to the economy of the region. Also, in order to develop pilgrimage tourism in Karshi district, we should do the following: • • To strengthen promotion work on the development of pilgrimage tourism in Kashkadarya region (Karshi district) in mass media; • • Establishment of a special TV channel promoting tourism among the TV channels of the Kashkadarya regional television and radio company. • • Re-examination of holy places, saints' graves and other places visited by local residents of Karshi district; • • In order to gain the attention of pilgrims, mainly foreign tourists, to introduce the original archeological finds (any objects) of those times preserved in the objects of pilgrimage to the attention of tourists in their own form; • • Conducting scientific studies by field scientists in these objects; • • Improvement of pilgrimage tourism infrastructure in the district; • • Studying and implementing foreign experiences in improving the quality of pilgrimage tourism services; • • Connecting shrines to engineering and communication networks; • • Introduction of "SMART" technology in cultural heritage objects and museums (there is a museum in "Abu Mu'in Nasafi complex" in Karshi district); • • Also, based on the existing opportunities of the district, it is considered appropriate to use an additional opportunity for the development of ecological pilgrimage tourism in places close to the city.
