Visible from the minibus as you arrive from Ahvaz, this shrine has a white pinecone of a central tower reminiscent of Daniel’s tomb in Shush. A gory local tale records a woman beheading her own son to swap his head for the skull of a long-dead holy man, which is now enshrined here as a sacred relic. Colourfully decked with strings of lights, the building resembles a cruise liner against the evening horizon. At its foot is the small but impressive 11-arched ancient Lashgar Bridge .
