What part of the Khazrati Imam mausoleum has survived?

The north facade of the Jahangir (or Khazrati Imam) mausoleum, which is the main monument of the architectural complex “Dar us-sadat”, located in the south-eastern part of the city of Shahrisabz, Qashqadaryo region, faced the spacious courtyard, which now holds a nineteenth-century mosque and a yard with utilities area.

A dome mosque was attached to the north-west facade of the mausoleum, near the north wall of the mosque there was a tall iwan with wooden pillars. According to B.N. Zasypkin, the mosque was a two-story building. Three exedra arches survive from the first floor.

During archaeological works in the complex, the base of Khazrati-Imam mausoleum was opened. It consisted of marble limestone blocks, and from the west side it was completely destroyed. To the south, a part of minaret with one row of base cladding was revealed. Remains of the multi-faceted minaret and a part of its round pillar were uncovered in the north-east part of the mausoleum.

The mausoleum's interior contains a large tombstone with signs of multiple repairs, and it was covered with ganch plaster.
