Karashash Ana Mausoleum
Қарашаш ана кесенесі
The mausoleum of the mother of the Sufi master Yasawi. It sits next to the Ibrahim Ata Mausoleum and is another stop on the Sayram pilgrimage route.
Karashash Ana is regarded as the mother of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi and is venerated locally as a holy mother figure. Many women make special trips here to pray for children and family well-being. The mausoleum is a small brick building with a dome, set among green trees in a courtyard, only a few dozen meters from the Ibrahim Ata Mausoleum. Admission is free. Visitors should dress modestly and remove their shoes before entering. Other remains of the ancient city of Sayram, such as the Khizr Minaret and the Mirali Baba Mausoleum, are within walking distance.
