The Nine Dome Mosque is a historic mosque in Bagerhat, Bangladesh. It was built in the fifteenth century by a Mughal general on orders from Babur himself and supervised later on by Humayun.[1] The Nine Dome Mosque is located to the west of the takur dighi tank and built in the 15th century, it is close to Khan Jahan Ali's Tomb. Its western wall conventionally faces west towards Mecca. It has been since substantially restored. Close to this mosque are the Zinda Pir Mosque and mazar (tomb), which are in ruins.

Structure:

It is a brick-built square structure measuring about 16.76m externally and 12.19m internally. The 2.44m thick walls on the north, south and east sides are pierced with three arched-openings on each side; the central one, set within a rectangular frame, is larger than the flanking ones.Nine-Dome Mosque, Bagerhat The interior of the mosque is divided into three aisles and three bays by two rows of stone pillars, two in each row, thus creating nine independent square bays, each of which is covered with an inverted cup-shaped dome. All the nine domes are internally carried on four intersecting arches springing from stone pillars and brick pilasters attached to the side walls. The phase of transition for each dome is achieved by means of traditional Bengali pendentives.The qibla wall is internally recessed with three engrailed arched-mihrabs, which correspond to the three archways on the eastern facade. Here also the central mihrab is larger than the side ones and has an outer projection.The stone pillars, supporting the domed roof, have stepped square pedestals and capitals. Their shafts are octagonal and are separated from the pedestals and capitals by raised bands. The engaged brick pilasters have also stepped square bases and capitals with stone imposts on the top. The corner towers emphasising the four exterior angles of the building are circular in the Khan Jahani style. All these towers, having moulded bases and plain tops, do not rise above the roof level. The cornices are gently curved.

Shait Gumbad Mosque in Bagerhat, built in 1459 by Khan Jahan Ali. It's place you should visit. It's a historical place. Shait Gambad Mosque is a great place to just see and wander around, recalling how the days at that time might have been. I could tell it as good as a museum. Sightseeing can also be pleasant. Shait Gambad is decorated from top to the end and you can never get bored.
Local buses run from Khulna regularly (Tk 40, 50 minutes). It's also connected to Mongla with only slightly more effort.
A Rickshaw from the bus stand to the Shait Gumbad Mosque should run around Tk 20.
If you're not in hurry, you may want walk to the sights from the bus stand. Head west along the main road, a fairly nice walk save for the speedy honking buses. The first sight you'll come to is the dargah, start asking around for it after about 5km or so. Shait Gumbad is another 2km or so west along the main road from the dargah turnoff.
Before you visit there pack some food or snack. There is no decent place to have a meal.
