Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Sat Gambuj Mosque stands near the northwestern outskirts of Dhaka in the Mohammadpur area. It sits on a buttressed bank overlooking an extensive flood plain and offers dramatic views across the Buriganga River.
The Sat Gambuj Mosque dates from the 17th century during the reign of Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Construction is traditionally attributed to Shaista Khan who served as governor of Bengal between 1678 and 1684.
Seven bulbous domes crown the roof and cover the main prayer hall of the mosque with one central dome above the middle bay. Six smaller domes flank it along the roofline while each rises with a distinct bulbous curve that creates a rhythmic silhouette against the sky.
Three cusped entrance arches flank shallow niches on the eastern facade while slender engaged columns with bulbous bases demarcate the central bay. Two enormous double-storied corner pavilions mark the north and south ends of the three-domed rectangular mosque.
The internal spatial arrangement compares favourably with other mosques dating to the second half of the 16th century. Ornateness recalls the design found in the mosque of Haji Khwaja Shahbaz while plaster details create depth without using stone carving techniques.
