Aisha Bibi, Pilgrimage mausoleum in Jambyl District, Kazakhstan.

The terracotta brick walls of the mausoleum display 60 different geometric patterns and calligraphy across their 80-centimeter thickness.

Built in the 12th century, the mausoleum honors Aisha Bibi, daughter of Sufi poet Khakim-Ata, who died from a snake bite near the seventh river.

Local women visit this sacred site to request blessings for children and family prosperity, following traditions established since medieval times.

Located 18 kilometers west of Taraz, the mausoleum received a protective glass dome in 1960 to prevent direct contact with the structure.

The adjacent Babaji Khatun mausoleum, dedicated to Aisha's companion, features simpler walls with Arabic inscriptions above its entrance point.
