Comilla Jagannath Temple, also known as Sateroratna Mandirorseventeen-jewel temple,[1] is located in Comilla, Bangladesh. It is dedicated to the 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]
