Overview

The community largely consists of single-story buildings and yurts. Its economy is dominated by livestock herding, which has resulted in the desertification of the surrounding area. A Soviet-era monument in the village center memorializes 11 supporters of socialism who died during the Basmachi Revolt in 1931.
