[2][3][4] The shrine was constructed by Aga Syed Yousuf to honor Mir Shams-ud-Din Araqi.

[4][5] Mir Syed Mohammad Isfani alias Mir Shams-ud-Din Araqi was an Iranian Sufi Muslim saint, known for having introduced the tenets held by Muhammad Noorbaksh Qahistani, a 15th-century Iranian Sufi who gave his name to the Noorbakshia school of Islam.

Araqi was a descendant of Musa al-Kadhim, the seventh Imam in Twelver Shia Islam.
