About the endowment
Four centuries of endowment, serving today
An endowment is a covenant between yesterday and tomorrow
Ganjali Khan, governor of Kerman in the Safavid era, built the bazaar, bathhouse, caravanserai, mosque and cistern of this complex and endowed their income. Today the endowment office continues that intention through services for the family, guest lodging, a loyalty club and support for bazaar businesses.
