Information:

The district's Karachanta village is also located near the border of Kars gover­norate. In the cemetery of this village, the Seyid Mahammad shrine is consi­de­red one of the sacred places. In the 1920s, Seyyed Mahammad prayed to end his life outside the house, far from the village (his house was near the village mosque). And so it happens. On one of the hot July days, 80-year-old Seyyed Mahammad said goodbye to the mortal world after performing ablution and praying by the river between the villages of Magharacik and Karachanta. At first, they wanted to bury him right there. Ho­wever, at the suggestion of the elders, he was buried in the village cemetery.
