The Rich Legacy of Ghazi Gohraman and Agricultural Traditions of Ghizar
Description
Raja Gohraman, the famous Ghazi Gohraman and independent ruler fought the British all his life and ensured that they could not capture Gilgit. The day Gohraman died, the British took control of Gilgit-Pakistan. After his death, the British came in and asked to see Gohraman's grave. A guide took them to it, and as they declared their capture of his country, a mosquito emerged from his grave and attacked them, causing them to flee. This incident affirmed that Ghazi Gohraman was a revered saint, and the area was blessed by his prayers in harbouring a flour-ishing agriculture. The community would gather in the fields, making a traditional dessert called Deram from walnut and apricot seeds. Wheat, barley, and corn were the main crops grown, and the fields were famous for their produce. During festivals and after the harvest, as winter approached, the people would bring back their cattle from the [mountain] pastures. They slaughtered large cows and sheep, preserving the meat by drying it and adding salt, thus creating a delicacy known as nasalu. In those times, the entire region of Gilgit depended on Ghizer. The abundant harvests of wheat, barley, and corn supplied the whole of Gilgit.
