What the attribution means

Traditionally attributed burial. A maqam does not by itself prove a burial. Every card and page therefore states its historical classification, separating documentary history from living devotional tradition.

Modest dress is expected. Respect prayer times and the directions of site custodians; ask before photographing worshippers or visitors.
