Description
Upon entering the complex, there is a square mausoleum topped by a glazed turquoise conical dome on the right-hand side, then going counterclockwise, a monumental ivan, the entrance to the prayer hall, and another monumental ivan which is open at the back. Inside the prayer hall, the tomb chamber is immediately on the right-hand side off a vestibule, while the inner entrance to the prayer hall is straight ahead. Divided into 2 sections, the outermost prayer hall has multiple mihrabs, while the innermost chamber has only one. Glazed tile and deeply carved stucco abound.
