Babaji Khatun Mausoleum

About
It is located in Zhambul district near Aisha-bibi mausoleum, is also a unique architectural monument of the 11th -12th centuries. It is famous for its original 16- ribbed umbrella-type dome of dual curvature. In fact, the ribbed umbrella-type dome does not have any direct analogues in modern architecture of Central Asia. The epigraphic frieze on the portal of the mausoleum brought us the name of a woman buried there. According to the legend the was Aisha’s nurse-maid and was accompanying her on the tragic trip. After Aisha’s death she kept fire on the grave of her favorite foster child. Both mausoleums are not just architectural objects, but also a place of pilgrimage as they are considered to be sacred in the Muslim world.

Babaja Khatun Mausoleum is located next to Aisha Bibi Mausoleum. 42.833748, 71.211243
It's definitely worth making a stop at both mausoleums.

Completing the trifecta of mausoleums in close quarters in Taraz is the Babaji Khatun Mausoleum. Much more cost effective than the Karahan mausoleum it is still a beautiful reminder of someones life and those who loved them.

Another place I would recommend in Taraz. It is good to start learning about Turkish/Central Asian history. It is beautiful and a great place for pictures with that special someone.

Surrounded by beautiful greenery, the Babaji Khatun mausoleum was constructed for a brave woman who served the legendary girl Aisha Bibi. This mausoleum stands next to the mausoleum of Aisha BIbi and tourists and Muslims are free to visit and pay homage to a woman who stood for love and courage.
