Khanqah e Moallah Hashupi
Gilgit-BaltistanBuildingProtected
This building is located on a slope on top of the Hashupi village. It was constructed with a timber frame cribbage and cator technique with stone infill. According to the resource guide, Amir Kabir Syed Ali Hamdani selected the site for this religious building, and 300 years ago, another religious scholar, Syed Mir Yahya, completed its construction. This building consists of a main hall on its eastern side, as well as a verandah that is supported by two cribbage columns, one at each end. There was once a Tibetan tower on the roof of this Khanqah, but unfortunately, it collapsed as a result of a heavy wind storm.
