The Seven Dome Mosque has 03 domes in north to south side and 04 dooms in four corners. In total it has 07 domes, that’s why people call it Sat Gombuj (Seven Dome) Mosque. All the 07 domes are almost in same size.

Inside  boundary, there is a big flower garden, which is also property and part of the Seven Dome Mosque. Boundary of the garden of Seven Dome Mosque ends in the road and just opposite side of the road there is also a small construction which is actually a shrine (Majar Sharif).
