Memorial complex Dorus-Siadat (Dorus Saodat)
The Memorial Complex Dorus-Saodat means "the House of Power". It was built like a necropolis for Amir Temur and all his descendants and relatives.
The main facade of the mausoleum stood out among the other buildings because of its powerful portal, at the corners of which were the towers.

Visitors on their historic tour of the complex of Dorus Siadat, passing through the main portal and entering into the courtyard, where there were different rooms... However, up to now, these buildings have not survived. Today, tourists can see only the remnants of its magnificence.
From all the buildings that were part of the memorial complex, Dorus Siadat, the very well preserved Jahongir mausoleum.
The excavations have led to the fact that several coffin plates were found in the tomb of Jahangir. However, scientists could not find out who owned the remains, and there is an assumption that there were many more graves in this place.
The main temple is situated opposite the courtyard entrance. Here are several private rooms and a gurhon. What was the purpose of those two rooms? Nobody knows.
The second tomb is located symmetrically next to the mausoleum of Jahongir. We can assume that there was buried the second son of Amir Temur, Umarsheyh. During the historical tour, you can learn more about the life and rule of the second son of Amir Temur.
The crypt with the sarcophagus of stone is well preserved in the main tomb (belonging to Amir Temur).
The whole room that was supposed to serve as a tomb was made of white stone, marble-like limestone.
There is also a present carving with an inscription from the Koran. Prayer for peace of the soul is even inscribed in the medallions, which are located in the vaults of the room.
All the details tell us about the good preparation for the burial of the ruler. Even driven into a special field in the form of a rectangle on the tombstone.
However, fate turned out differently, and the tombstone is still not covered. Amir Temur was buried in the mausoleum of Gur-Emir, which is located in Samarkand.
