Obverse descriptionAt right side - The Sat Gambuj Mosque (Bengali: সাত গম্বুজ মসজিদ, lit. `Seven Domed Mosque`) is near the northwestern outskirts of Dhaka in the Mohammadpur area. 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.
