Sang Bast, Iran
Arslan Jadhib Gunbad
997-1028
Ghaznavid

East of Lake Van in Turkey the number of mausolea (gunbad) increases. In Islamic times the tomb of a "saint" - in Turk speaking areas often a charismatic Sufi - becomes the center of a religious shrine or mosque. In East Persia, Khorasan, Afghanistan and Pakistan there exist numerous lonely mausolea, the communities having been wiped out by the ravages of the Mongol and Timurid invasions
The burial site of Arslan Jadhib, an official of the Ghaznavid Sultan Mahmud, was originally incorporated into a larger complex along with the nearby freestanding minaret.
