Tawiz Peak (Amulet Peak): |
|||||||||||||||||
Once some of the Yarkandis descended the Ghyari nala and took away
a Balti woman with them to their glacier village. To take revenge, Baltis
contacted an important mullah, who gave them a tawiz (amulet) which
was to be placed on the Bilafond (Saltoro pass). Mullah instructed them
to return via the Nubra valley. However the Baltis, after placing the
tawiz on the pass returned the way they had come. Soon afterwards a
great storm visited the Siachen glacier and destroyed the settlements
and only the rocky desolation remained. The priests say that the calamity
would have been greater had they followed the directions fully. Because
of this lapse in following the instructions wild roses were not destroyed
by the storm. Today roses grow in plenty near the snout and in the lower
valleys, though the entire glacier is barren. The glacier is called
Siachen (Sia-rose, chen-place of) -the place of roses.
