TURRET I HAIDARI

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 411 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TUM-VAN
TURRET I HAIDARI , the
capital
  of the
district
 , is 76 m. nearly S. of Meshed, in 35 17' N., 59 r1' E., at an
elevation
  of 4100 ft. The town is picturesquely situated on the bank of a deep and wide ravine in the midst of lofty hills, and surrounded by clusters of villages. Its
population
  amounts to 8000 souls. There is a well-stocked
bazaar
  and a number of
Russian
  traders have established themselves here since 1903, when the place was connected with Meshed on one side and with
Seistan
  on the other side by a telegraph line which, nominally Persian, is worked and maintained by a
Russian
  staff. A British
consul
  has resided here since 1905, and there is also a post-office.
The place was formerly known as Zavah and derives its present name from the turbet or
tomb
  of a holy man named Kutb ed din Haidar, the founder of the ascetic sect of dervishes known as the Haidaris. He died c. 1230 and is buried in a large domed building a short distance outside the town.
