In honor of whom was the mausoleum of Jahangir Mirzo in Dar us-sadat complex restored?

It is presumed that the Khazrati Imam mausoleum (the main monument of the architectural complex “Dar us-sadat”, located in the south eastern part of the city of Shahrisabz, Qashqadaryo region) was constructed after the death of Amir Temur's eldest son and heir, Mirzo Jahangir (d. 1376), whose mausoleum has a cone-like dome ceiling.

M.E. Masson, on the basis of historical data, concluded that prince Mirzo Jahangir is buried in the mausoleum. Others argue that the mausoleum was dedicated to Saint Khazrat-i Imam, who is mistakenly identified with his namesake Muhammad al-Shaybani. 

You can learn more about the topic in the book-album "Architectural epigraphy of Uzbekistan. Qashqadaryo, Shahrisabz" of the series "Architectural epigraphy of Uzbekistan".

The main sponsor of the project is the oilfield services company Eriell-Group.
