Comilla Jagannath Temple, also known as Sateroratna Mandir or seventeen-jewel temple,

Hindu God Jagannath. It dates back to the early 18th century and was built by Ratna Manikya II, who was the king of Tripura.[2] The deities of Jagannath, Balabhadra and Subhadra
were originally installed in a temple in Tripura from where they were subsequently shifted to this temple.

Jagannath Temple is one of the oldest temples of Comilla district. It is located two km south-east from Comilla town.[1] The terracotta brickwork of the temple is in the typical Bengal style of temple architecture.[citation needed] The seventeen jewels are the towers that originally crowned the structure but have been damaged: eight on the first floor, eight on the second, and one more in the centre.[1]
