Being busy in sister marriage I could make my posting. Topic was marked on Chakchun Mosque some 700 years old. When I last visited Baltistan, Visiting this beautiful mosque on top of my list. The Chakchun Mosque is Iranian and Tibetan architecture situated in Khaplu.This mosque attributed to Sayyid Ali Hamadni, a noted local saint of the fifteenth century, is a typical example of a rectangular wooden structure. A lot work done by AKRSP. but it original look is always there. Mosques in Baltistan are mainly built in the Tibetan style, though several mosques constructed have wood-finish and decorations of Iranian origin similar available in Ladakh and Kargil. It is fact the people of these areas having very close association and attachment with people other side of the LoC.
On the way to Khaplu one can see different Khanqahs which are a kind of typical training school of Sufis which was introduced by the early Sufi saints arrived in the region.
