Mir Muhammad Astana

Gilgit-BaltistanTombProtected
Located next to the Khanqah-e- Moallah of Khaplu, this building showcases some of the most exquisite woodcraft and construction traditions of Baltistan. The square-shaped Khanqah is bordered by a verandah on all four sides. The entire structure is supported by four cribbage corner-columns. The building is delicately decorated with arguably the absolute finest latticework anywhere in this region.
