Chapter 6 examines the narrative traditions surrounding Aghā-yi Buzurg’s character by exploring later hagiographical accounts about her. This chapter reconstructs the lore and public memory of Aghā-yi Buzurg and shows the continuity of people’s interest and moral investment in her legacy over the centuries since her passing. It closely examines the eighteenth-century Naqshbandī hagiographical compendium Tadhkira-yi Ṭāhir Īshān, which played an important role in the revitalization of Aghā-yi Buzurg’s remembrance in the second half of the eighteenth century in the regions of Khwarazm and Bukhara. This chapter showcases the vitality of Aghā-yi Buzurg’s commemoration in Central Asia in which her perceived sanctity retained its attraction over the course of almost half a millennium.
