The Tomb of Shaykh Zahed Gilani (Persian: آرامگاه شیخ زاهد گیلانی) or Sheikhanvar (Persian: شیخانور)[1] is a historical mausoleum in Lahijan, Iran. It dates back to the Safavid era.[2] This mausoleum is the purported burial place of Zahed Gilani, a 13th-century Sufi mystic and the forefather of the Zahediyeh and Safaviyya Sufi orders, which would eventually evolve into the religion of the Safavid Empire. The mausoleum is the 824th national monument of Iran.[3][1]
