The Sat Gambuj Mosque is located near the northwestern outskirts of Dhaka in the Mohammadpur area. It is one of the well-preserved mosques in the ancient Mughal capital Dhaka, located now in the Mohammadpur area of the city.
Architecturally, this structure is a typical three-domed Moghul Mosque, but it is the most innovative one of all the Mughal monuments because of its four articulated corner towers or pavilions. Each of these consists of two enormous storeys and it is an independent structure covered by a dome with an extended lotus finial. As a result, this monument contains seven domes and hence giving the mosque, its name Sat Gambuj or seven-domed mosque.
