Everyone knows the history and story about the third Imam. This is his place of burial. The shrine is inside this huge mosque which has been expanded over the years is just magnificent. Unfortunately due to security, cameras and phones are not allowed inside. The intricate scriptures all over the walls inside the mosque is beautiful. The beauty is magnified when the lights come on. Though there can be many people it is all very orderly inside. You are allowed to pray and contemplate without being abused and pushed about.
