A few watermelons await their fate in the entrance hall of  Kokil Dara Khanagha.  

Kokildor-Ota Khanaka in Termez, in the far south of Uzbekistan, was originally a resting place for wandering Sufi dervishes and other Muslim scholars. Founded in the 16th century by Abdullah Khan II, khan of Bukhara, the building’s design is strongly influenced by the city’s cultural ties to Afghanistan.
