Meana Baba Mausoleum - Turkemenistan

 The second card Claus sent me is this one with the Meana Baba Mausoleum, located in Kaahka district.
 
This mausoleum is
 a sacred site linked to one of the most influential Sufi mystics of the Islamic world:
 Abu Sa‘id ibn Abi’l-Khayr al-Mayhani (967–1049 CE). 
Born in the town of Mayhana — now Meana —
he became known here as Meane Baba, the “Father of Meana.”
The mausoleum, built in the 11th century,
 still holds the atmosphere of devotion — with its rare double dome, colorful ornament, and traces of ancient calligraphy.
