Saparmurat Hajji Mosque, Islamic mosque in Geok Tepe, Turkmenistan.
The mosque features a central blue dome surrounded by four smaller half domes and four minarets that reach 63 meters into the sky.
French construction company Bouygues completed the mosque in 1995, naming it after President Saparmurat Niyazov who performed his Hajj pilgrimage in 1992.
The interior walls display embossed patterns influenced by Turkmen carpet designs, while a chandelier with 260 lamps illuminates the prayer hall.
The religious complex accommodates 8000 worshippers and includes banquet facilities for 1000 guests, making it suitable for large gatherings and ceremonies.
The Turkish firm SUR executed a 34-million-dollar renovation in 2008, adding ritual banquet facilities and constructing the Gokdepe National Museum within its grounds.
