[2] Another possibility is that the settlement was named after the Hindu god, Ganesha, centuries before the arrival of Islam in the valley.
Ganish is a historic settlement at the banks of the Hunza river dating back to around a 1,000 years.
Ganish was a stop on the ancient Silk Route and its strategic location has allowed the settlement to flourish since the past.
With the Mir's permission, Khurram Shah laid the foundation for Buldas, carving out a distinct identity for this settlement within the Ganish area.
This move brought together families and expanded the territorial recognition of Ganish, reinforcing its role as a growing cultural hub.
Notably, Buldas was among the first clusters to be recognized as a separate entity from the core of Ganish, highlighting Khurram Shah’s influence in redefining the local socio-geographic landscape.
[7] One of Buldas's notable developments was the establishment of a mosque, which became a spiritual and communal gathering point for the residents.
Khurram Shah oversaw its construction, marking the occasion with a grand feast where Mir Safdar Khan served as the chief guest probably in 1860-70s, symbolizing the importance of the settlement within the broader Hunza region.
This event not only signified Khurram Shah's dedication to the spiritual welfare of his community but also demonstrated his close ties with the Mir.
