Bidun of Bukhara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bindu of Bukhara was Bukhar Khudah (king of Bukhara) from an unknown date to 681.

Several rulers of Bukhara were known before him, however, it is not known if they were from the same dynasty. Bindu had a wife who is only known by her title of Khatun of Bukhara, with whom he had a son named Tughshada. In 681, during the Muslim conquest of Transoxiana, Bindu was killed by the Umayyad general Salm ibn Ziyad. He was succeeded by his few months old son Tughshada.
