Four King of Levi

The Chahar Padshah Mausoleum in Lahijan is located in the Vahdat Square neighborhood, next to the Jameh Mosque and the historic Golshan Bath. This building is in the form of a complex of connected tombs attached to a mosque. The complex consists of rooms next to each other, with a veranda on the northern side of the rooms running parallel to them. The architectural history of the Chahar Padshah building has been attributed to the Timurid and Safavid periods, but the wall paintings of this building, which give it a special and spiritual appearance, belong to the Qajar era. Various points have been mentioned regarding the historical background of the Chahar Padshah Mausoleum, and different dates have been recorded. Among those who have referred to the background of this building is Rabino. He introduced this building as follows: "The main part of the Chahar Padshah building is the tomb of Seyyed Hadi Kia. This building was erected when the bodies of his brothers Seyyed Ali Kia and Seyyed Hossein Kia, and the bodies of other individuals, namely Seyyed Ebrahim Kia and Seyyed Abdullah Kia, sons of Seyyed Ali Kia son of Seyyed Naser, were buried here. They were killed in the Battle of Rasht in 791 AH. Their bodies were transferred here five months after their death." These points may be one of the reasons for the naming of the mentioned building.
