A pillar structure on a mausoleum structure
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Most mausoleums have a chosen style that is added to them as a way to give more appeal and honorifics to the grave of the deceased. There is no documented illustration that provides a reason as to why pillars would be assigned in one place and not accorded to another. In any event, pillars were traditionally embodied in a lot of structures across the East African Coast and encapsulated the minaret structure of the mosques, that was used to amplify the Muslim adhan, a call to prayer for the faithful. In this context, the pillar is meant to add more value and honour to the grave of the deceased. |
