The Tomb of Baba Loghman (Persian: آرامگاه بابا لقمان) in Sarakhs is the site of the Loghman Sorakhi burial. The building is thought to be the ceremonial tomb of Sufi mystic Babalqaman Sarakhsi. As well as a tall dome there are two brick enclosing walls and a long porch. On the body of each side, an opening allows natural light to illuminate the dome. There are important plasterwork embellishments and fine brickwork: interior arches are decorated with rhombic geometric patterns.
Overall the architecture is considered similar to the Tomb of Ahmed Sanjar.[1][2][3]
