Mausoleum of Sheikh Shamsad-Din Kulyal al-Keshi
The mausoleum of Shams Al-Din Kulyal was built in the XIV- XV centuries, in the form of a straight quadrangle (12.1 x 10.6 m); the dome was not preserved, and the mausoleum was later covered with a flat roof.
The building is built of burnt brick of a square type (26 x 26,5 x 5 cm). The Kok-Gumbaz Mosque in Shakhrisyabz is located on the same axis with the highly revered Temurid mausoleum.
The spiritual mentor of Amir Temur, Sheikh Shams al-Din Kulyal al-Keshi, is buried here.
According to sources, the ruler's father, Muhammad Taragai, was reburied in the same mausoleum at the feet of Sheikh Kulyala
.
The walls have been plastered several times, so their original appearance is partially lost. Under the plaster, there are remnants of mosaics that decorated the azure vault.
Inside the mausoleum there is a rectangular marble tomb decorated with a delightful carved ornament.
It is believed that it was Sheikh Kulyal who inspired Amir Temur with the idea of a high destiny as the ruler of the world. The domed mausoleum above the sheikh's grave was built in the early 1370s and was initially open on all four sides.
The entrance facing the mosque was decorated with a portal. By the 20th century, only the walls and part of the carved marble tombstone had been preserved.
