CENTER FOR ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY
Mohammad was named Jalalluddin by Shamasuddin Turk, after he became Shamsuddin’s disciple. Three buildings comprise the Kangah; these include a Masjid, and two tombs. The buildings are located in an L shaped where the tombs are on the north side and the Masjid perpendicular to them. The tomb on the east side houses the graves of Jalalluddin and his two sons flanked by an arcaded (cusped arches) verandah on the front. The adjoining tomb on the west side has graves of his other three sons. Both the tombs are spanned by domes resting on octagonal drums topped with inverted lotus and finials. Minarets are also located at the corners of both the tombs. The periphery of the tombs is lined with crenellations forming the parapet of the tombs while the parapet on the verandah is composed of Jaalis. Masjid has a single entrance and the interior is divided in linear bays, with mehrab on the west side. A dome resting on octagonal base highlights the center of the Masjid. A newly constructed Verandah has come up in front of the Masjid.
