Different Phases of Gilgit and the Rule of Dadi Jawari
Description
Initially in the Gilgit area, first Naupur Valley was established followed by Barmas Bala in the lower Valley. In early times, the whole of Gilgit-Baltistan was covered with forest of mostly thorny plants.In the Sonikot area there were many cattle (bepus) but tere also were three brothers who one day shot their arrows from a little hill to hunt an animal. Thereafter, the brothers came down and started arguing about who should slaughter the hurt ani-mal. One after the other declined in doing it until the youngest one was asked to slaughter. As he did it he was left there while the other two brothers went on. He then remained at that place and cultivated the land which quickly became a garden. One day Dadi Jawari spotted that place and went there as it belonged to the wazeer of Astore district and had plenty of water. Thereafter, Bushporo came, followed by a queen on a horse together with high ranked officer. The queen felt a lot of disrespect and was sent away from the area. That is how Gilgit was habitated.
