We recently visited Imam Khomeini's shrine in South East of Tehran, Iran. It's built right off the famous cemetery of 'Behesht-e-Zahra' (Zahra's Paradise). The shrine was built right after Khomeini's death and has since become a high place of pilgrimage for many Moslems. This mausoleum was the only one standing next to the shrine. I didn't dare asking whether other mausoleums were destroyed to build it ... I will be posting other shots of the inside of the shrine shortly.
