A crown of goddess Kali at the Jeshoreshwari Temple in Satkhira’s Shyamnagar, which was gifted by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been stolen.\u00a0The incident occurred around 2:30pm on October 10, 2024.<\/p>\n

According to the temple priest Dilip Mukherjee, he left the temple after completing the day’s worship around 2:00pm. Shortly afterwards, the temple’s cleaning staff entered to clean the premises. A while later, they noticed that the crown was missing from the deity’s head.<\/p>\n

Modi had visited the Jeshoreshwari Temple on March 27, 2021, as part of his trip to Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

The temple is one of the 52 Shakti Peeths in Hinduism. On that day, Modi placed the crown on the head of the deity as a symbolic gesture.<\/p>\n

Talking to The Daily Star, Inspector of Shyamnagar Police Station Taizul Islam confirmed the incident and stated that they are reviewing the temple’s CCTV footage to identify the thief.<\/p>\n

Jyoti Chattopadhyay, one of the members of the family that has been looking after the temple for generations, said the crown was made of silver and it was gold plated.<\/p>\n
