It is located on the north-western edge of the aul of Sairam, South Kazakhstan region, on a high hill along the road to the village of Aksu.The dome was built over the tomb of Ibrahim Ata, the father of Khoja Ahmed Yassavi, a man known in the South Kazakhstan region for his Sufi teachings, priesthood and shamanism. Ibrahim Ata, a religious leader and a well-known preacher in the area, came from a noble family and was a successful farmer. Ibrahim lived a pious life, helping people in need. The mausoleum was originally built in the XVI-XVII centuries, but after its collapse it was rebuilt in the XIX century. The dome of the mausoleum collapsed and was rebuilt during a strong earthquake in the 1950s. The mausoleum was built of burnt bricks and partially plastered. It was whitewashed, rebuilt and repaired several times. After the demolition of the original dome, in the early twentieth century it was replaced by a sheet metal roof on all four sides, with a pig dome in the middle. The building has two floors with one location. There is an entrance on the south side and a window with a wooden frame on the west side. In the north-western and south-western parts of the mausoleum there are portals with shallow pointed cubes. The mausoleum of Ibrahim Ata, which is an architectural monument of culture and history of Kazakhstan, built of burnt brick, is a unique work of architecture.According to sources, Ibrahim Ata was the first leader of the Sufi community, founded in Yassi in the XII century.
