Monuments of Karaganda region.

“That was the day the ancient songs of blood and war spilled from a hole in the sky
And there was a long moment as we listened and fell silent in our grief and then one by one, we stood tall and came together and began to sing of life and love and all that is good and true
And I will never forget that day when the ancient songs died because there was no one in the world to sing them”

The transition from the four-sided to the eight-sided one was carried out by the arrangement of arched sails in the corners of the building, and from the eight-sided to the 16-sided one and further to the circle of the dome - with the help of brick consoles.
Fired bricks are applied inside the building from the heels of the arched sails. The hemispherical dome is laid out using the false vault method. The main volume, slightly widening downward, bears a low 8-sided drum topped with an 8-sided dome drum.

Legend of Zhuban Ana mausoleum.
Since the Middle Ages, the mausoleum has been revered as "auliye mola". According to legend, in the era of the Altyn Horde, Talmas-ata lived along the Sarysu River, he had a Zhelmai camel. For the night he stayed at Zhuban-ana, then along the Sarysu river he stopped at Bolgan-ana, Belgen-ana.
Zhelmaya galloped like the wind across the sand of Zhetykonyr, stopping at the holy places. Here travelers spent the night, women made pilgrimages. These four historic mausoleums are located along the Sarysu River.
