Comilla Jagannath Temple, Hindu temple in Comilla, Bangladesh.
Comilla Jagannath Temple is a Hindu shrine in Bangladesh featuring a complex vertical structure with three external stories and five internal levels. The building combines traditional Bengal architecture with terracotta brickwork and octagonal spires that create a distinctive silhouette.
The shrine began construction in the early 1700s but was not completed until several decades later, indicating a lengthy building process. The relocation of the three worshipped deities to Comilla marked an important religious milestone that established this as a significant center.
The temple served as a major place of worship for three deities that were relocated here to preserve their spiritual presence. Visitors today can sense its religious importance through the layout and spaces where worshippers gather.
The shrine is located about two kilometers southeast of Comilla town and is built with a wide base measuring over 50 meters in diameter. The structure features four arched entrances that provide visitors with multiple pathways for exploration.
Of the original towers that once crowned the structure, nine still stand today distributed across multiple levels, offering insight into its former grandeur. These remaining towers reveal how more monumental the building once appeared.
