The Gozli Ata mausoleum is a brick building with twin white domes and sparsely ornamented walls.[1] The entrance is designed in the form of pishtak; inside lies Sufi Gözli Ata in a triangular prism coffin of extraordinary length.[1] The premises contains numerous stone-tombs of Turkmen tribes.[1] Adjacent to this mausoleum, also lies the ruins of a madrasa and the mausoleum of Bibi Aysulu, who was the wife of Gözli Ata.[2]
