Zahir-od-dowleh Cemetery (Persian: ظهيرالدوله) is located in Darband, close to Tajrish, Shemiran[1] (now a neighbourhood inside Tehran's city limits).

[2] Ali Khan Zahir od-Dowleh, head of the Society of Brotherhood (Anjoman-e Okhovat) passed away from a heart attack on Friday, June 27, 1924, in his garden in Jafarabad, Shemiran.

This site was previously home to an old cemetery, and later the Zahir-od-Dowleh Khanqah (Safa' alishah ) was relocated to this place.

"[3] Owing to Zahir-od-Dowleh Safa Ali's popularity among various social classes, numerous artists, politicians, and scholars requested to be buried in this cemetery.

As a result, the khanqah custodians and Zahir-od-Dowleh's disciples garnered considerable revenue from selling burial plots.
