Qurban Shah Mosque
Gilgit-BaltistanMosqueProtected
The Qurban Shah Mosque was once part of the Gulkin settlement, and is situated on the southern side of the Gulkin polo ground. It is square-shaped, with a verandah on two sides facing the east and south, similar to other small traditional mosques of this region. The building was constructed with a traditional timber cribbage and cator structure, using adobe infill and mud plaster. Its most remarkable architectural features are its carved door frames and the wooden columns on its verandah. Floral and ornamental patterns are repeated extensively on all of the exposed wooden parts of the mosque.
