The described monument - a pillar-shaped sanctuary or, as it is also popularly called, sieling - is located 300 meters west of the complex. Its height is 2.50 m, length is 1.10 m, width is 0.65 m. Below, on the facade of the object there is a pointed niche with a height of 0.8 m. In his studies, the Ingush historian and archaeologist M.B. Muzhukhoev believed that pillar-shaped sanctuaries complete the evolution of local religious monuments. And some scientists, on the contrary, believe that pillar-shaped structures are the primary form of religious buildings. M.B. Musukhoev also claims that the construction of sielings was performed in memory of deceased ancestors. These monuments served as a symbol of veneration and respect for ancestors, and were believed to provide invisible protection to their descendants. Ethnographic descriptions acquaint us with monolithic "pillars" - sanctuaries known as "Sielings", indicating their mythological connection with the cult of "the sun god" and lightning "Selya". A typical example of the sanctuary-monument are sielings near the village of Erzi, Egikal, Targim, Nyi, Vovnushki, Ozdich, etc. in Ingushetia. Researcher F.M. Kostoeva believes that in ancient times, the term "seeling" was used to refer to a high quadrangular stone column facing south, with a flat or gable top and a small niche at the base. The sielings were collected from raw stone before human growth and fixed to a lime or clay solution ("markhal"). Such stone structures were erected at crossroads, at towers or crypts.
The pillar-shaped sanctuary in Besht is part of the Djeirakh-Assin State Historical, Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve and is an object of cultural heritage protected by the state.
