These were probably old Hindu/Buddhist temples which were later converted to Mosques. The layout, the signs leave no doubt. The knowledge of the gentlemen is impeccable 👍

[@khomol]

Why would they have Islamic architecture with motifs from other religions like so many places in the world that mimic the culture of the Quran? ie to spread peace and love. The same thing literally happens everywhere in the world. Go to Morocco and you’ll see Jewish and Christian motifs. Even the crescent moon is a Roman motif. It’s funny how people take the European colonised narrative without questioning it. I’m sure there’s plenty of temples around the area, but those are clearly masajid with honorary nods to previous generations.

The reminiscence of Hinduism is still alive in Hunza. Forceful conversation and regression does not eradicate ones roots

[@Gilgitpost]

Bitan ( Shamanic) religion was oldest religion of the Burusho community who speak an isolated language Burushaski later Hinduism and than Buddhism dominated and finally islam the Region of Hunza Nagar( Burushal)😮 The Bön religion is also originated in the bru zha (Burushal) region which is now only in tibet

What joke you are talking village name ganesh swastika in doors trishul on bell 🔔 in entrance of temple not in mosque

[@mustafatariq1909]

if they were forcefully converted, were they also forced to make those beautiful carvings that must have taken days and true passion with a sword on their neck? you would think if they are forcefully converted the people who converted them would destroy their place of worship? use your brain?

[@1920F]

Forceful conversion and regression? 😂by who? Mughals? 😂😂 this is why you shouldn't bring your north indian history everywhere.

Hello female solo traveller here . I am so excited to share that I'll be visiting Pakistan next month! From everything I've heard, it sounds like a stunning country with a relaxed vibe and welcoming people. I can't wait to experience it all firsthand and share my journey through videos on this channel. Love from the USA

Most welcome dear I'm from Karachi if you need any help then connect with me Thanks 😊

Actually, bring a male friend or your partner. As women solo traveling in some areas are frowned upon. You at least have a male close relationship to travel.

The village name is Gaanish (Ganesh )and signs resemblance to Hinduism Sculpture. Means Mosque constructed not built.

Uncle has explained every bit without hesitation, but one notable thing is that at every ancient monument across Asia, you will find symbols of Hinduism.

Amazing documentation Karl, keep up the great work. The gentleman walking you around is a treasure trove of knowledge on north-west frontier, the way it was known pre -independence.

[@user-60267]

This video was one of the best I’ve seen of yours Karl. Fascinating history and superbly explained. Shame I didn’t know about this place when I visited Hunza.

[@LogicalYam]

This mosque is also built on Hindu Temples we just discovered swastika

[@bhadwamodi8294]

This area was predominantly Buddhist.

[@LogicalYam]

@@bhadwamodi8294 Buddhism & Jainism comes from Sanatan Dharma often called Hinduism, it has all those teachings of Hinduism. Buddha was a hindu, he taught hindu philosophy. He never started any religion, his followers did. And, also there is no religion called Hinduism; Buddha, mahavira were all born in Sanatan Dharma family

[@MakeusProud-x0x]

​@@bhadwamodi8294budhhist sign is chakra is in india flag we own Buddhism also 🤣🤣🤣

[@msbalti_1]

Swastika Ko hum Ladakh , Baltistan aur Gilgit wale "Yung Drung" bolte hain. Yung Drung Bon religion ki nishaani hai and Bon Religion yahan ka sabse pura religion tha jo yahan ke log follow karte they aur yeh sign aaj bhi humare culture ka hissa hai and aaj bhi hum yeh sign apni religious buildings pe banate hain.

[@1920F]

We practiced bon/tibetan buddhism here not hinduism.

[@trademarktyping4015]

The Ghizer Valley and Hunza valley in Gilgit-Baltistan are connected to Tajikistan via the Wah Khan border. So it is quite clear that central Asian cultural influence is quite evident there. Many Friends from India confusing Turks with Turkish. Turks mainly belong to Central Asia,( recent Tajikistan, Uzbekistan Etc), from where some tribes traveled to Antioch in search of water and grassy fields and later became Turkish. The guide refers to central Asian architecture and roots going back to the Zoroastrians, not the Hindus.
