The historical house of Mrs. Mahindokht Madani (mahinestan), formerly known as Shah Yalani House, is one of the valuable Qajar buildings with a history of about two centuries, located in the heart of Kashan's historical fabric.
The original owner of this house was the late Haj Aqa Mohammad Shah Yalani, a well-known merchant with influence in Kashan. Years after his passing, in 2010 (1389 SH), his granddaughter, Mrs. Mahin Dokht Madani (Mrs. raheb), purchased the house for the purpose of its restoration and preservation. Due to her great interest in preserving this valuable historical monument and reviving the sweet memories of her childhood, Mrs. raheb, with the support of her husband, Mr. Haj Majid raheb, who is known as the Sultan of Iranian perfumes and rose water (Golab-e Rabee), undertook the reconstruction and restoration of this valuable building. It is currently being operated as a historical residence called Mahinestan Raheb Institute.
