The burial place of Emine Mihrişah is located inside Yeni Mosque in Eminönü, Istanbul, (Her construction was begun by Safiye Sultan, the mother of Sultan Mehmed III, and was completed during the regency of Turhan Hatice Vâlide Sultân, the mother of Sultan Mehmed IV).

Emine Mihrişah Sultan[1] (Devletli, İsmetli, Emine Mihr-î-Shâh, Second Kadın Efendi Hazretleri) née Jeannette (died 1732) was the French second concubine of Ottoman Sultan Ahmed III, and the mother of Mustafa III.[2][3]

Emîne Mihr-î-Şâh[4] was born as Jeannette in France. However, she was never Valide Sultan to her son because she died in 1732, twenty-five years before Sultân Mustafa III's accession to the Ottoman throne.[5] Mehr-î-Shâh means "Sun" (lit. compassion, endearment, affection, and clemency) and "Sultân".

Her resting place of Emine Mihrişah is located at the tomb of Turhan Hatice Vâlide Sultân inside the Yeni Mosque in Eminönü, Istanbul.
