Tekturmas Mausoleum, Medieval mausoleum in Taraz, Kazakhstan
The Tekturmas Mausoleum stands on the southeastern bank of the Talas River, constructed with burnt bricks in a four-cornered design topped by a dome.
Built in the 16th century, this structure is considered the burial site of Sultan Makhmudkhan, a figure connected to the military leadership of Kara-Khanids.
The name Tekturmas translates to 'mountains standing for a reason' in the local language, reflecting the deep connection between the structure and its surroundings.
The mausoleum underwent complete reconstruction in 2002 based on historical photographs from the 1880s, making it accessible for current visitors to experience.
The entrance features a western-facing lancet arch with pilasters at each corner, demonstrating architectural elements typical of Central Asian religious structures.
