Located 6 kilometers from Dahistan is the ancient burial site of Mashhad, a Muslim necropolis with the renowned mausoleum of Ali ibn Sukkari, also known as "Shir-Kabir," situated in its center. The architecture of the Shir-Kabir mausoleum-mosque belongs to the prestigious Serakhs architectural school. The walls of the building, made of square raw bricks, were adorned with carved stucco from the base to the dome, featuring intertwining patterns, foliage motifs, and Kufic inscriptions. They were painted in blue, red, and pistachio green colors. Shir-Kabir is referred to as the mosque "on wooden columns." It is the oldest surviving mosque in Turkmenistan. Notably, the unique carved mihrab (prayer niche), consisting of three interlocking niches, oriented towards Mecca, indicates that this mausoleum was primarily used as a mosque, not just a burial site. Unfortunately, Shir-Kabir has undergone several reconstructions, but elements of the 10th-century decor have been preserved in its interior. The interior still bears the imprint of grandeur and beauty. Many pilgrims who have visited this sacred place claim that nowhere else in the world, except Mecca, have they felt as good as here, as if these places are touched by the blessings of Allah.
