Chapter 7 explores the shrine complex of Aghā-yi Buzurg and its history. Her shrine, known as that of “Qiz Bibi,” is situated near the city of Bukhara. The traditions surrounding the shrine remind visitors of Aghā-yi Buzurg’s superiority in her struggle with her famous enemy, Mīr-i ʿArab. The accounts explored in this final chapter allow us to discern the reinterpretation of the figure of Aghā-yi Buzurg over time, evident in the written narratives and oral materials in which she was turned into a 14-year-old virgin, Qiz Bibi. These sources demonstrate people’s efforts to make sense of Aghā-yi Buzurg’s legacy over a long period of time and shed light on the development of oral history in general.
