there. At the present moment a police station and post office are situated there because so many people come to see the temple.
The word  anavasara  is used when Śrī Jagannāthajī cannot be seen in the temple. After the bathing ceremony ( snāna-yātrā ), Lord Jagannātha is supposed to become sick. He is therefore removed to His private apartment, where no one can see Him. Actually, during this period renovations are made on the body of the Jagannātha Deity. This is called  nava-yauvana . During the Ratha-yātrā ceremony, Lord Jagannātha once again comes before the public. Thus for fifteen days after the bathing ceremony, Lord Jagannātha is not visible to any visitors.
