Baitul Mukarram mosque is the National mosque of Bangladesh . A mosque without dome over the roof of its main prayer hall must have been unique experiment. The main building is storied and 99 feet high from the ground level. The absence of a dome on the main building is compensated by the two shallow domed entrance porticoes, one on the south, and other one on the north. The mehrab of the hall is rectangular instead of semi-circular. The Baitul Mukarram mosque is modern in its architectural style. But it has not discarded traditional principles of mosque architecture. It has found its place in the hearts of the Muslims because of its resemblance with famous Kaba at Makkah.
