The site has archaeological value and is also bound up with visits to the grave. When you visit a place of pilgrimage, respect the calm of the pilgrims and don't touch the graves or the old parts.

👀What you will see

• The historic mound itself is the part of the site to which its ancient past is attributed.
• The grave and the shrine building are the parts you can see; don't confuse them with the vanished fire temple.

🎒Good to know before you go

• Ask the villagers for directions to the shrine entrance.
• Don't walk on the walls or the soil of the worn parts, and don't take anything from the site.
