Sakhi Shrine

Afghanistan

The Blue Mosque, also known as the Sakhi Shah-e Mardan Shrine or Ziyarat-e Sakhi (Pashto/Dari, Sakhi Shrine), is a mosque and shrine complex, located in the Karte Sakhi area of Kabul, Afghanistan. It is associated with the place to which the cloak of the Islamic prophet Muhammad was brought and with a visit from Ali, the son-in-law and cousin of Muhammad, who would later serve as Caliph himself. The shrine is located at the foot of the Asamayi Hill, now better known as Television Hill. To its north and west is the Sakhi Cemetery.
