The medieval "Tekyeh Mir Chakhmagh", Yazd, Iran.
A tekyeh (Persian: تکیه) is a place where Shiite Muslims gather to mourn muharram.[1][2][3] Such places are particularly found in Iran.[4] They are usually traditionally designed with observable elements of Persian architecture. Tehran is said to have had up to 50 tekyeh in the Qajar era.[2] There are tekyeh in almost every Iranian city. They look like mosques but are used during the month of Muharram.
