The shrine of "Two Brothers" in eastern Gilan is called the tomb of the Sayyids or a respected elder by the people. The shrine known as Two Brothers is the tomb of "Seyyed Mobin and Seyyed Moein," and according to the genealogy, these two brothers are descendants of Imam Musa al-Kadhim (AS). Fortunately, the building of this shrine has not been renovated and has preserved the traditional architecture of Gilan. The shrine building is old and, like many shrines in Gilan, has a wide veranda on three sides. The roof is made with traditional wooden beams and covered with tiles. The tomb chest is wooden and old, with a simple latticework on its body. Manouchehr Sotoudeh, who was assigned in the 1960s to study and document the heritage buildings of Gilan and Mazandaran, writes about this: "The shrine of Agha Seyyed Moein and Agha Seyyed Mobin, sons of Imam Musa al-Kadhim, is located on the road to the village of Amlash near Tamijan Rankouh. The main building of the shrine measures 760 by 750 centimeters. It has two entrance doors on the south and west sides. Above the southern entrance door is a delicate lattice window, and above the western entrance door is a simple wooden lattice window. The western, eastern, and northern walls have lattice windows for light. A wooden chest measuring 260 cm long, 160 cm wide, and 130 cm high is in the middle of the building."
However, what is regrettable and sorrowful is the destruction of the Qajar-era paintings of this building. This shrine, like many shrines in eastern Gilan, had wall paintings inspired by the events of Karbala. Unfortunately, in recent years, under the pretext of renovating the shrine, all the paintings inside the building and on the veranda have been covered with plaster. At the time of Sotoudeh's visit, these paintings still existed: "On the inner walls of the shrine, there are religious painting assemblies. The verandas have four-sided columns with simple capitals. The southern veranda has a lattice entrance door. The roof of the shrine and verandas is made with traditional wooden beams and covered with tiles. The ceremony of Alambandi on the first day of Muharram and the ceremony of Alamvachini on the thirteenth day of Muharram are held."
