North/ Northern Gate (उत्तर द्वार) or Elephants Gate (हस्ति/ हाथी द्वार) is one of the four gates meant for the people who come for mukti (मुक्ति). The Elephants Gate have no Elephant statute at present. Long ago on each side it had a colossal figure of elephant, which is said to have been disfigured during invasions. Subsequently, these figures were repaired and placed at the northern gate of the inner enclosure (कूर्म बेढ़ा).
Apart from the Singhadwara, which is the main entrance to the temple, there are three other entrances facing north, south and west. They are named after the sculptures of animals guarding them. The other entrances are the Hathidwara or the Elephant Gate, the Vyaghradwara or the Tiger Gate and the Ashwadwara or the Horse Gate.The Northern Gate or Hastidwara or the Elephant Gate had on each side a colossal figure of elephant,which is said to have been disfigured during the Muslim inroads.Subsequently,these figures were repaired and plastered with mortar and placed at he northern gate of the inner enclosure (Kurma Bedha).The inner enclosure is approached by thirteen flights of steps made of khondalite,from the northern gateway of the outer enclosure.The deities of Lokanath, Uttarani, Lakshmi-Nursimha, Baraha and Sitala have been installed in the outer enclosure.There is also the sacred Suna-Kuan from which 108 pitchers of water are taken for the ceremonial bath of Lord Jagannath during the Snana Yatra.On the western side of the outer enclosure,near the gate of the kurma bedha,stands a banian tree,and on a raised platform,the favour Koili Baikuntha or Kaivalya Baikuntha.During the Nabakalebara,the images of Jagannath,Balabhadra and Subhadra are being constructed here.🙏🙏🌺🌺🌺🏵️🌼🌼
