Information

The Molla Gayib spring flowed in the very heart of the Hajali plateau (in these places Mollu Yurd, Sirik Yurd were the pastures of the tribes of the Gubadli and Jabrayil regions, as well as mountains and rocky trenches where the fugitive Nabi Ali oghlu wandered). It was a place of worship similar to the spring and holy place of the same name in the village of Sofulu. Presumably, the believer mullah of the village of Sofulu performed ablu­tion with the water of this source and di­sappeared in this place. In the vicinity of this place in the middle of the village there was also an ancient cemetery.
