The memorial complex compositionally develops the traditions of the ancient Turkic kagan stakes. The entire complex is oriented with its main axis towards Mecca, where the projection of the mosque's mihrab is directed. The entrance to the circle, surrounded by a brick fence, is highlighted by two towers and leads to a platform in front of the mausoleums, intended for prayer and sacrifice of a ram. In the corners of the site, crossed spears made of metal profile with bronze overlays are installed on granite bases as symbols of military valor[1]. In the center of the circle there are two mausoleums of batyrs with ellipsoidal outlines characteristic of Northern Kazakhstan. A small cone-shaped memorial mosque is placed in front of them, symbolically uniting the mausoleums. In the center between the mausoleums there is a small pinakothek hall, where texts in three languages are written on the walls, telling about the heroic deeds of the batyrs[1]. The majestic volumes of the mausoleums in the upper part are inlaid with elements of ceramic irrigation cladding and are completed with domes of 6 mm curved glass on a metal frame. There is a ventilation slot between the glass and the walls to dry the dome[1]. The doors to the mausoleums are made of metal, with overlays of carved brass with gold-plated texts from the Koran. Ceramic bricks, Kurtin and Kurdai granite are used in the interior decoration. The tombstones, continuing the ancient Turkic tradition of installing kulpytas and koytas over the burial, are made of polished red Kurdai granite according to the templates of the authors. Each tombstone has a shirak, lighting which, visitors can turn to the aruahs (spirits) for help[1]. Other existing burials within the boundaries of the district are lined with paving slabs, outside they are fenced with a low forged metal fence[1]. All the main structures of the memorial are made of ceramic bricks with a mark of at least 100, made using Italian technology. Monolithic reinforced concrete belts run along the top of the walls to eliminate the expansion of the domes. The top of the inter—dome room is covered with a layer of waterproofing - impregnated with waterproofing and polyethylene film, with a protective layer of bricks laid flat. The floors and the surface of the area in front of the mausoleum are made of paving slabs. The area in front of the complex is tiled with natural stone, benches for relaxation are installed, lamps on cast iron racks[1]. The dimensions of the main elements of the complex: the height of the mausoleums is 16 m, the mosque is 12 m; the dimensions of the structure in plan are 19 × 13.5 m; the circumference of the fence is 27 m[1].
