Description:

It was conceived as a large religious complex and combined a ziaratkhana, khanaka and hudjras for pilgrims. The hallmark of the complex is a tall, expressive brick portal with decorative decoration and panels with Arabic epigraphy. Above the arch there was a unique mosaic – two writhing dragons against a background of apple tree flowers. This plot has ancient local roots and this is the only mosque in the world with images of dragons on the main facade.

Built by the ruler of Khorasan, Abul-Qasim Baber Bahadurkhan, in 1456 and destroyed during the Ashgabat earthquake in 1948. Only the lower parts of the portal abutments and fragments of the walls have survived. Along with the mosque, unique images of dragons also fell under the ruins.

Restorers who won the grant restored the image and today it is exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts of Turkmenistan. In addition to the mosaic, scientists restored the foundations of the portal, brickwork in the square, and the grave of Sheikh Jamal ad-Din.
