Bamir Astana
Gilgit-BaltistanTombProtected
This Astana is situated 45 km away from the town of Khaplu, and on the most prominent location in the Tsino village. The Astana is bordered on its western side by many graves, and a Khanqah. The building itself is a low-height structure with a square plan, and consists of a traditional cribbage and cator technique, using local construction materials (stone, timber and mud). Notably, the mud plaster used here contains egg material (yolk and albumen). There is an opening on each side of the Astana, and a rotated square pattern on the ceiling that converges into a skylight.
