By 1339, Shams-ud-din Shah Mir of the [[Shah Mir dynasty]] established a sultanate encompassing the [[Kashmir|region of Kashmir]] (consisting of modern-day [[Gilgit-Baltistan]], [[Azad Kashmir]], [[Jammu and Kashmir (union territory)|Jammu and Kashmir]], [[Ladakh]], and [[Aksai Chin]]), allowing for the gradual Islamization of the region and the hybridization of Persianate culture and architecture with the indigenous Buddhist styles of Kashmir. In the capital at [[Srinagar]] in modern Indian-administered Kashmir, [[Sikandar Shah Miri|Sikandar Shah Mir]] constructed the [[Jamia Masjid, Srinagar|Jamia Masjid]], a large wooden congregational mosque that incorporates elements two cultures, that is, it has been erected in Persian style but its minar is topped with umbrella-shaped finial, which is in similitude with Buddhist pagoda structure, as well as the wooden [[Khanqah-e-Moula]]h mosque. Also in Srinagar are the [[Aali Mosque|Aali Masjid]] and the Tomb of Zain-ul-Abidin. Two 14th-century wooden mosques in [[Gilgit-Baltistan]] are the [[Chaqchan Mosque]] in [[Khaplu]] (1370) and the [[Amburiq Mosque]] in [[Shigar]]. Both have stone-built cores with elaborately carved wooden exterior galleries, at Amburiq on two levels, in an adaptation of traditional local styles.
