Description
A small shrine on the wayside of a busy road invites truckers and other passers-by. The purported burial place of a 'saint' (likely a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad), this shrine is one of many located near water and trees, which point to an earlier, pre-Islamic cult place at the site.
