A [[mausoleum]] southeast of the city of [[Tuyserkan]] in the west of [[Iran]] is also believed to be Habakkuk's burial place.{{sfnp|Toyserkan.com}} It is protected by Iran's [[Cultural Heritage, Handcrafts and Tourism Organization]]. The Organization's guide to the [[Hamadan province]] states that Habakkuk was believed to be a guardian to [[Solomon's Temple]], and that he was captured by the Babylonians and remained in their prison for some years. After being freed by [[Cyrus the Great]], he went to [[Ecbatana]] and remained there until he died, and was buried somewhere nearby, in what is today Tuyserkan. Habakkuk is called both Habaghugh and Hayaghugh by the Muslim locals.

The surrounding shrine may date to the period of the [[Seljuq Empire]] (11–12th century); it consists of an octagonal wall and conical dome. Underneath the shrine is a hidden basement with three floors. In the center of the shrine's courtyard is the grave where Habakkuk is said to be buried. A stone upon the grave is inscribed in both Hebrew and [[Persian language|Persian]] stating that the prophet's father was Shioua Lovit, and his mother was Lesho Namit. Both Muslims and Jews visit it to pay their respects.{{sfnp|Tehran Jewish Committee}}
