The Tarashti Mausoleum is a shrine and mausoleum in Tehran, Iran, that exemplifies the layered architectural traditions of the region through Seljuk, Safavid, and Qajar periods. Constructed from brick and plaster, the structure features aina-kari—the intricate mirror-work technique characteristic of Persian Islamic architecture—which adorns its interior surfaces with reflected light and geometric patterns. Recognized as an Iranian national heritage property, the mausoleum stands as a testament to the enduring religious and architectural practices that shaped Iran's sacred spaces across successive dynasties.
