Bibi Shahr Banu Shrine

Bibi Shahr Banu Shrine is a shrine located near Shahr-e Ray, a southern suburb of Tehran, Iran.

The shrine is located outside the present town on the slope of a small mountain range extending eastwards, known by the name of Mount Tabarak or Kuh-e Ray or also Kuh-e Bibi Sharbanu.

The oldest parts of the shrine date from the 15th century, shortly before the Safavid period. Researchers have discussed, if the name of the shrine and the location could point to an earlier pre-Islamic holy site, possible a sanctuary of the goddess Anahita. However, because it is being utilized solely for Islamic purposes it is considered an Islamic building. The shrine divinity to Iranians is an important part of the Persian theory of divinity in lineage of Imam Hussein ibn Ali .
