Karbalai Hasanali Shaloghlu’s dome
In Zimmi village, present-day Vedi (Ararat) district, Iravan uezd, Iravan governorate.
In 1948-1949, the inhabitants of the village of Zimmi were deported from their historical-ethnic lands and moved to Azerbaijan by a special decision of the USSR Council of Ministers, and the village was abolished. Now it is a ruined village.
Architecture
After the liquidation of Zimmi village, the ruins of the dome remain in the village cemetery.
The grave inside the one-door quadrangular dome (height 2.5 m, width 2 m) in the cemetery of Zimi village was that of Karbalai Hasanali Shaloghlu (1779-1854), who was distinguished by his proximity to the divine majesty. The Shaloglu tribe was called that because they tied shawls around their waists and was one of the Tarekama families who migrated from South Azerbaijan. His 25-year-old son Mehdi (his son was born on that day) crossed the Zimi river (1 km away from the village) in the snowy weather at night and went to visit his father's grave and reunited with the divine spirit. When he washed his hands in the river, the water drops that splashed outside froze and he entered through the closed door (the door was closed when they searched for him several times, and when the door was finally unlocked, he was found on the grave, and he was buried next to his father) and enough sayings have spread about his spiritual meeting with his prayer. The people of the surrounding villages would visit this holy place, pray and make sacrifices for the acceptance of their intentions.
It proves that the holy places belong to Azerbaijan, which is a part of the Muslim-Turkish world.
