Where is Amir Timur's Father Buried?

The tomb structures of the Gumbaz-i sayyidan and Shams ad-Din Kular mausoleums in the "Dar ut-Tilavat" complex, considered the "cultural-ideological center" of Shahrisabz, consist of the graves of the saint, his devotees, and also the Termez sayyids.

These tombs are now lost, but photographs survive. Another interesting supposition related to these mausoleums is presented in the book-album dedicated to the Qashqadarya region, published as part of the "Architectural Epigraphy of Uzbekistan" project, a part of the "Cultural Heritage of Uzbekistan in World Collections." It is assumed that, not far from the grave of Sheikh Shams ad-Din Kular (according to other sources – Kulala) al-Fakhuri, there is probably the resting place of his devotee, Amir Taragay, the father of Amir Timur. As sources attest, the mazar of Shams ad-Din Kular was located near the main mosque of Kesh, i.e., the Kok Gumbaz mosque.

You can learn more about the topic in the book-album "Architectural epigraphy of Uzbekistan. Kashkadarya, Shakhrisabz" of the series "Architectural epigraphy of Uzbekistan".
