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.
