The Seven Domed Mosque (সাত গম্বুজ জামে মসজিদ) aka the Sat Gambuj Mosque is a mosque is situated in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is a fine example of the provincial Mughal style of architecture introduced in 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. Probably erected by Governor Shaista Khan, the monument stands in a romantic setting on a buttressed 15-foot-high bank overlooking an extensive flood plain. It is named after the number of domes it has on its main structure. Note: This model is made from the perspective view of the structure. Some dimensions may be inaccurate.
