  • Khanagah
  The tomb opposite Alinjagala is in the center of the Khanagah dwelling (18- 11th centuries B.C.). From here Alinja¬gala looks like a model. The inscription says that the tomb was built in the time of Amir Seyyid Ahmed al-Ogul Sami’s son, vizier Haji Mahammad Garagoyun¬lu Jahanshah (1436-1467), for his son Amirkhan. The Khanaga village on the Alinjachay river is a medieval architectural comp¬lex. There are ruins of a tomb, mosque, columns of an unknown monument, etc. here. The tomb is largely called Sheikh Khorasan and was built on the order of great scholar Ulug Gutlug Lala Bay. The inscription bears the name of architect Jamaladdin. Construction date is not visible, so the age of the tomb is unk-nown. Architecturally, it is attributed to the 12-13th centuries. Local people believe that the after the tragic death of Hurufism founder Fazlal¬lah Naimi at Alinja in 1394, his followers buried him here. People started calling the place Sheikh Khorasan after the philosopher’s nickname of Sheikh Khu¬rasa, i.e. like the Sun. Since he received his education in Khorasan, he was called the Sheikh of Khorasan. The mosque so¬uth of the tomb was built by Khond Bika Khatun in memory of Sufi leader She¬ikh Haji Lala Mali in 1495-96. In midd¬le ages, Sufi sheikhs lived in Khanagah with their families and were subsequ¬ently buried there. Khanagah remained a dwelling until the 18th century
