Luristan ; by it passes the road from Deh Bala to Dizful between Khnsh-
kadul and the Mama pass. The building consists of a domed shrine and
minarets surrounded by low walls; around are some hovels and many
graves, the whole standing on a long mound. Below is a grove of pomegra
nates, and around a circumscribed, but well-cultivated, valley, sunk below
the level of the Deh Bisheh plain, abundant streams of water, mostly
brackish, irrigate the cultivated lands, and the valley remains green through
the greatest heat of summer.
Saiyid Nasr-ud-Din was sixth in descent from 'AH, and his descendants
are now in charge of the shrine and number from 200 to 300 families. In
winter the head saint and his immediate retainers are the only inhabitants ;
the remainder migrate to the slopes abutting on to the Tigris plain.— (B.)
