A crown of Goddess Kali at the Jeshoreshwari Temple in Bangladesh's Satkhira, gifted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has been stolen, according to reports.
The silver, gold-plated crown was stolen on Thursday afternoon, shortly after the temple priest had left following the day's worship. The cleaning staff later discovered that the crown was missing from the deity's head, according to the Bangladeshi newspaper The Daily Star.
Prime Minister Modi presented the crown to the Jeshoreshwari Temple in March 2021, during his visit to Bangladesh.
The stolen crown carries cultural and religious significance for devotees. In Hindu mythology, the Jeshoreshwari Temple is revered as one of the 51 Shakti Peethas spread across India and neighbouring countries.
