Summary
editDescriptionKashgar May 2007 446.jpg |
English: Aba Khoja Mausoleum. Kashgar, Xinjiang Province
The Khojas were a family of religious leaders and local rulers of Kashgar during the Qing dynasty. The mausoleum now named after Aba Khoja (also spelled "Apak Khoja," with many variants) was originally built in 1640 by his father. Although it looks like a mosque (prayer hall) from the front, the building is actually a mazar (mausoleum), like the Taj Mahal in India. The building is an example of Timurid (central Asian) Islamic architecture, with squat tiled minarets, a large dome, and an iwan (vaulted niche)-style entrance. Its floor plan is a symmetrical square, with minarets on all four corners. The rear and side walls do not have an iwan, but are otherwise similar to the front wall seen here. |
