| Site Description | This is the shrine mausoleum (ziyaarat) of Ali Thakurufaanu. He was killed in 1572 in battle against the Portuguese. When he was struck down, his head was severed and taken to Malé as a gift to the Portuguese administrator Andhiri Andhirin, and later buried on the island of Funadhoo near Malé. His body, however, was buried here in Thakandhoo and this ziyaarat was later erected over the grave. |
| Project Description | The Maldives Heritage Survey works to systematically inventory and digitally document the endangered cultural heritage of the Maldives. The materials documented through this work are critically endangered, facing both natural and human threats that jeopardize the survival and accessibility of historical information for this vital node in pre-modern global economic and religious networks at the cross-roads of an interconnected Indian Ocean world. The data made available here was collected by our Field Team using a FARO Focus S350 Lidar scanner and a Nikon D750 for photogrammetry. |
