BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 24. The participants of the Nasimi festival, organized by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and the Ministry of Culture, in partnership with ICESCO, include representatives of the prominent Azerbaijani poet Imadaddin Nasimi's descendants, Trend reports.
Today, the kin of the poet engaged in a commemorative visitation
to the Shahkhandan mausoleum located in Shamakhi.
The sepulchral structure, housing the remains of Nasimi's sibling
Shahi Khandan, distinguishes itself within the corpus of medieval
edifices in Azerbaijan through its distinctive architectural
vernacular and profound historical import.
In 2019, the Heydar Aliyev Foundation executed comprehensive
refurbishment initiatives surrounding the mausoleum situated within
the Shahkhandan necropolis, aligning with the thematic observance
of the "Year of Nasimi".
