The present structure was founded in the 12th century by the Ganga King Chodagangadev and completed by another Kin g of the same dynasty. The temple stands on an 8m elevated mound known as Nila Parvata and has four gateways.

Guarded by two massive stone lions, The entrance is known as Simha Dwar (the lion gate) and is used during the Rath horseback, tigers entrances in South, West and North respectively.
The original temple built in Kalinga style, consisted of a deul or the sanctuary (also called bimana) in which deities of Lord Jagannath , his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra were installed and the Jagamohana or the porch (also called mukhashala). The other two, the natamandir 9dance hall) and bhoga mandir (hall of offering ) were added in the 15th and the 16th century.These four have another walll surrounding them, known as the Kurma Prachir (Tortoise Wall) pierced by six gates.
Within is another concentric wall inside which stands the tallest surviving shrine in Orissa,65 m high, topped by a long scarlet pennant and the eight spooked wheel (chakra) of Vishnu. On the higher ground in the enclosure are many deities and placesw connected with the lord, total of about 30 small shrines.
