A shrine complex on the outskirts of Ganja in western Azerbaijan, centred on a domed mausoleum traditionally linked to a descendant of a Shia imam. The blue-tiled dome and the surrounding buildings, expanded over the centuries, form an important local pilgrimage site. Restored and enlarged in recent years, the complex now includes newer prayer halls and courtyards alongside the historic tomb. The shrine draws worshippers and visitors, reflecting the religious traditions of the region and the long history of Ganja.
