Sakhi Shrine, Islamic shrine and mosque at Karte Sakhi district, Kabul, Afghanistan.
The Sakhi Shrine stands at the foot of Asamayi Hill with multiple domes and glazed tiles in neo-Safavid Persian architectural elements.
Ahmad Shah Durrani funded the construction of the first structure, which included a dome over a rock where Imam Ali placed his sword.
The shrine holds annual Nowruz celebrations outside its walls, with separate prayer sections for men and women inside the building.
The shrine includes an underground area where women leave offerings, while men can view a hand-print relic in their designated section.
During its journey to Kandahar, the cloak of Prophet Muhammad remained at this location for eight months before final transfer.
