Takyeh Beyglarbeygi is a takyeh located in Kermanshah and is well known for its unique mirror ornamentations. Takyeh Beyglarbeygi was constructed during the Qajar era by the efforts of Abdullah khan Biglarbeygi and bears inscriptions of Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar.[1] It is no longer used for mourning, but it has been turned into a museum of calligraphy as well as old documents of the Biglarbeygi family.
