Toztsay Mosque Shigar

Gilgit-BaltistanMosqueProtected
This mosque consists of a main hall and an entrance verandah on its eastern side. Bizarrely, this old structure stands alone in a near- barren area. According to local oral tradition, this is because of a heavy flood, long ago, that swept away the entire surrounding village settlement with the exception of this mosque.
