Dughlát in his Tarikh-i-Rashidi (“A History of the Moghuls in Central Asia”) remarked, “In the town are many lofty buildings constructed of fresh cut pine. Most of these are at least five storeys high causing viewers to bite the fingers of astonishment with the teeth of admiration” . While these accounts only comment on the use of wood, rather than masonry integrated with wood or confined in a wooden frame, before the advent of modern saws and nails some form of masonry most likely would have been used to enclose the structures. Thus, these accounts may be describing the ancient precursors of either taq or dhajji dewari construction. Different variations of taq, with its masonry walls with horizontal timber lacing, may have been in common usage throughout the Himalayan region before dhajji dewari came into general use, but dhajji construction, which was embraced by the British because of its resemblance to the Elizabethan half-timbered construction common in Britain, has continued to be used more often than taq in recent years.
