The holy place of Mir Gafar was one of the places that local Azerbaijanis worshiped. It was blown away by Armenians after the deportation of Azerbaijanis in 1988
The sacred place of Mir Gafar (Ilanar oilagi) was guarded as a holy place in the village cemetery and was visited by people. The construction, repair and protection of the Mir Gafar place and other historical places and sanctuaries on Azerbaijani lands were carried out by the local Azerbaijani population. (According to what is said: “In the early 1970s, a resident of the village Salman Hashim oglu (1925-1985) wanted to restore this place, and when he bought a car with sand from an Armenian driver, he asked for a discount on the cost. The Armenian did not agree, he sold at the stated price. In the evening at home, he begins to have severe pain. He writhes until the morning due to terrible pain. His mother asks him what happened to him today? He tells his mother about Salman Hashim oglu’s conversation. His mother understands the matter and orders him immediately "In the morning, buy a sheep, take it to the village and slaughter it in the shrine. The Armenian does what he says, even buys 20 pigeons and leaves them on the hearth. They say that the pigeons never left the hearth and never flew to another place53."
