The Sat Gambuj Mosque (Bengali: সাত গম্বুজ মসজিদ, lit. 'Seven Domed Mosque') is a Sunni mosque and tomb complex, located near the northwestern outskirts of Dhaka in the Mohammadpur area, in the Dhaka District of Bangladesh. The mosque is a fine example of the provincial Mughal style architecture introduced in the 17th century in what is now Bangladesh. 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 4.6-metre-high (15 ft) bank overlooking an extensive flood plain. The mosque dates from the reign of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, and may have been built by the Mughal governor Shaista Khan.
