The Sat Gambuj Mosque (Bengali: সাত গম্বুজ মসজিদ, lit. 'Seven Domed Mosque') is near the northwestern outskirts of Dhaka in the Mohammadpur area.[1] It is a fine example of the provincial Mughal style of architecture introduced in what is now Bangladesh in the 17th century. The mosque's most notable features are its seven bulbous domes crowning the roof and covering the main prayer hall. The monument stands in a romantic setting on a buttressed 15-foot-high bank overlooking an extensive flood plain.[2] The mosque dates to the reign of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, and may have been built by the Mughal governor Shaista Khan.
