Genealogy of Nagar State

  Above:  Coat of Arms of Nagar State. Like Hunza whose flag featured a lion holding the state flag in its mouth, Nagar's coat of arms featured a horse holding the state flag with its hands (front legs).  The rulers of Nagar were officially called "Tham" which meant "King" in the local Burushaski language - a language isolate - but were known over time as "Mir" by foreigners. "Mir" is the Persian version of the Arabic title "Emir". The Royal House of Nagar was known as the House of Maghlot and was related by origin to rulers of Hunza State (House of Girkis) and the Rajas of Gilgit (House of Shah Malik).  The story of the dynasty's origin connects it to the local Buddhist monarchs of Gilgit and Iranian noblemen fleeing the Rashidun conquest of Persia (Sassanid Empire). However, it is more of a family legend though that does not mean it does not contain a grain of truth at all. On the contrary the opposite might be true.
