The shrine and grave of Imam Al-Rida (a) are directly beneath the golden dome. The holy shrine of the Imam (a) has at least 10 courtyards. This picture is taken with Masjid Gowharshad behind us, facing the direction of his blessed shrine.
Sahn-e-Jami-e-Razavi - the biggest courtyard of the holy shrine. This is one of the several places prayer if offered in congregation. i would go here for the Fajr prayer, after which i took this photo and video. Qiblah is behind us and the holy shrine is in front of us. The blue dome of Masjid Gowharshad is blocking the view of the golden dome above his blessed shrine.
The entrance to Dar Al-Hujjah, the underground chamber where lovers of the holy prophet (s) and his household may visit the closest place to the actual grave of Imam Al-Rida (a). There is no shrine here, just a plain wall and a sign reading: this is the closest place to the grave of Imam Al-Rida (a)
The graves of Sayyid Yasir and Sayyid Nasir, two sons of Imam Al-Kazim (a). They are the brothers of Imam Al-Rida (a) through their father; the only sibling that Imam Al-Rida (a) has with the same father and mother is Lady Fatimah Al-Ma'sumah (peace be upon her).
