Zangiata Mausoleum

Zangi Ata was a Sufi teacher of the Yasawi tradition who lived in the 13th century and is remembered locally as a patron of herders. His mausoleum is commonly linked to the time of Timur, and the buildings around it were added and rebuilt up to the 19th century.

The tomb is reached through a courtyard with old trees and a pool. The portal and dome are covered with blue and turquoise tilework, and a mosque, madrasa and minaret stand nearby. A short distance away is the smaller mausoleum of his wife, Ambar Bibi.

The complex is an active place of pilgrimage, especially on Fridays and holidays, when families come to pray and share food.
