Local people, because of mysterious pheonomena in its suburbs, named this hill as Ajinateppa-"whiches-Hill". According to legend there is a gult of wealth in the interior of the hill which is stored by a mysterious beauty who appears in its possession upon the sunset looking like a snake. The monastery was richly decorated. The walls and arched ceilings are covered with painting. on the pedestals and niches cut out from the walls the large and small sculptures where placed. The Buddha sculpures of different size where in the holy place. In the temple half of the monastery they placed a large figure of the lying "Buddha in Nirvana" in a traditional "Sleeping Lion" Posture. At the present you can see this sculpture in the Tajikistan National Museum of Antiquites, Dushanbe.
AJina-teppa ("Devil's Hill", "Witches' Hill", "Evil Spirit Hill") is the name given by local residents to a high plain, surrounded on three sides by aryk (irrigation ditches), densely buried in shrubbery and covered with shapeless bumps and pits.
When archaeologists came to the hill for the first time in 1959, they concluded, after the initial examination, that this was not just a shapeless conglomeration of land but the remains of some ancient rectangular structure, consisting of two equal-sized squares linked by a bridge.
