The tomb is in the village where he lived and also gave the village its name. As it has no inscription, its construction date is unknown; its architectural features reflect the style of the 14th–15th centuries. The tomb is an important place of pilgrimage for the Alevi-Bektashi communities of the area. It is a quiet stop in a rural landscape.
