Amburiq Mosque

The Amburiq Masjid (Urdu: مسجد امبوڑک شگر) is a mosque located in Shigar, in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan.

The mosque was built by Sayed Ali Hamdani[2] and is among the famous landmarks in Baltistan.

[3][4] According to local traditions, Sayed Ali Hamadani visited Shigar to proselytize the faith and established the Amburiq mosque, becoming the first mosque in the Shigar Valley.

[5] A small museum has been established inside the mosque, which has been helping to create awareness of the historical significance of the site, and to instill a conservational approach among the local community towards socially significant structures.
