Amburiq Mosque, 14th-century mosque in Shigar District, Pakistan
The main prayer hall of Amburiq Mosque contains a central wooden column and two carved windows positioned on the eastern wall.
Built between 1350 and 1400, the mosque was established by Syed Ali Hamdani during his mission to spread Islamic teachings in Baltistan.
The mosque structure combines Kashmiri, Tibetan, and Persian architectural elements, with detailed wood carvings displaying geometric and floral patterns.
The interior space of 63 square meters includes separate prayer sections for men and women, with a mihrab indicating the direction of Mecca.
A small museum within the mosque building presents artifacts and information about the structure's history and preservation efforts.
