Description: This Khanqah lies on the western side of the Saling village, and is located on a flat land on the right bank of the Shyok River. Due to its location, the structure is vulnerable to summer floods, and has been damaged several times. It is made of a traditional cribbage-and -cator structure using stone, timber and mud. It consists of a prayer hall, with an entrance verandah on its eastern side. Four main wooden columns with wooden bases and capitals dominate the interior of the building. The southwestern column was spared during a catastrophic flood, in which the entire Khanqah was damaged.
