Mashhad Rīzeh

Mashhad Rizeh, formerly known as Raza, was a village of the Bakharz district in eastern Khorasan. It was the birthplace and burial place of Ali Sana'i Bakharzi, an official at the court of the Timurid ruler Sultan Husayn Bayqara. His conflict with the statesman and poet Ali Shir Nava'i led to his imprisonment and execution in 1486. His grave connects the village with the political and literary world of Timurid Herat.
