The Shrine of Hazrat Ali, the fourth Caliph of Islam, is an iconic sight in Mazar-i-Sharif in the province of Balkh in Afghanistan.
The Blue Mosque, as it is also known, is famous for its blue colour and doves which attract thousands of pilgrims, especially at the time of the Afghan New Year at the end of March.
Some people believe that harming the doves at the mosque will bring bad luck; others believe feeding them will bring good fortune.
