Located on one of the slopes of the mountain range, south of the Sairam village, the mausoleum of Suzik-ata was rebuilt several times from the light quadrangular burnt brick several times during the XIII - XVI centuries.

From written historical sources it is known that in the area of ​​this burial there was an underground road leading to Sairam. Dimensions of the mausoleum - 5 x 5.5 meters, height - 6.5 meters. According to historical manuscripts, the true name of Suzik-ata is Mustafakuly Khoja (XII century).
He is the grandson of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi, born of his daughters. Khazret pampered him and often called him “my suzik” (from the phrase “koz suzil” - to peer closely, to heed). Apparently, in this way, Khoja Ahmed tried to keep courtesy and obedience in his grandson.
Under the name of Susik Mustafakuly, he became known among the people. Suzik-ata also belonged to the number of educated and wise representatives of his era. Realizing that he would need knowledge in life, he studied the postulates of the Islamic religion and began to preach them to others.
