The mosque—with its blue dome and four minarets—is a prominent landmark in Gökdepe. The mosque has a dark green dome in the center, surrounded by four half-domes of lower height but same shade. Adjacent to the mosque in the east, is a two-floored complex centered around a star-shaped pool.
Small white domes adorn the perimeter of the complex’s ceiling as well as the mosque courtyard. A chandelier—having 260 lamps—hangs from the center of the mosque. The walls are embossed with motifs of traditional Turkmen carpets while the interior of all domes is decorated with pastel blue designs. The mosque is reported to have a capacity for 8,000 worshipers.
