Asghar Ali Mosque
Gilgit-BaltistanMosqueProtected
Situated in Chalt Bala (upper Chalt), the Asghar Ali Mosque has a square-shaped plan with a verandah facing east. Its eastern wall was recently reconstructed using dressed stones, consequently reducing the original character of the building and making it look rather like a recently built structure. The three remaining side walls, which are built with cribbage and cator structure with stone and mud infill, however, retain their original character.
