According to the construction of this room, it is known that it is the residence of the guard of the mausoleum and the cemetery. Inside the room, a broken clay pot was made, and it turned out that the pot was found in the same cemetery.

The mausoleum is attributed to Khoja Qutbiddin Yahya Nishopuri who has lived in between XIII- XIV centuries in Iran and Central Asia. It is believed that this wise man traveled from Nishapur, Iran to Baljuwon in Khatlon, where he died and was buried. A masoleum was constructed for him around 16th century.
