Arystan Bab Mausoleum, Religious mausoleum in Otyrar District, Kazakhstan.

The mausoleum features a central arch, wide front facade with two minarets and two large domes located near the village of Kogam.

The structure dates from the 14th century, built over a 12th-century grave, and underwent multiple reconstructions through the 18th century following earthquake damage.

The mausoleum contains the tomb of Arystan Bab and three of his students: Hermet-Azyra, Karga-Baba, and Lashyn-Baba in a two-chambered gurkhana.

The complex includes a mosque, auxiliary quarters, a museum, and displays a medieval calligraphy Quran under protective glass for visitors.

According to local accounts, Timur received instructions through a dream to build this mausoleum before constructing the nearby Khoja Ahmed Yasawi shrine.
