Raiymbek Batyr Mausoleum (Kazakh: Райымбек батыр кесенесі, Russian: Мавзолей Райымбек Батыра, tr. mavzolei raiymbek batyra) — is the mausoleum of the Kazakh hero Raiymbek, who fought against Dzungar invaders. It is located in the city of Almaty, on the homonymous Raiymbek Prospect [ru].
Construction
Raiymbek's tomb was destroyed during the Russian Civil War, between 1918-1922.[1] In 1981, a granite stela was installed at the burial site.[2] In 1992, the mausoleum was built on the gravesite, designed by architects B. Ybraev, Sh. Otepbaev and S. Agytayev. In 2017, by a resolution of the Almaty City akim, Raiymbek's mausoleum was transferred to the communal property of the city of Almaty.[3][4]
Modern-day mausoleum
The monument has an unusual shape, in the form of a pointed tent with a crescent on top, inside which there is a sarcophagus with the ashes of the hero. Also on the territory of mausoleum there is a spring and a prayer room.[5]
In 2005, in honor of 300th anniversary of Raiymbek's birth, the deputy of Almaty mäslihat and general director of the corporation "Sana-Oi Invest" Daulet Abenov funded the creation and installation near the mausoleum of a symbolic Koran, made of black marble, where people can worship by laying his hands on it.[1]
The sacredness of mausoleum is underscored by the fact that in his lifetime, Raiymbek was recognized as an "auliye", or "saint".[1]
