The monument displays a bronze figure in a long coat holding a book, set within landscaped gardens on Tuqay Square. The statue stands among pathways, flower beds, and informational plaques that complete the outdoor setting.
The monument was erected in 1958 to honor a poet who shaped modern Tatar literature during a period from 1886 to 1913. Despite a short life span, this figure left a lasting mark on how the region understood literary expression.
