Bab‑e‑Habib, located on Khanka Road in Dhamanagar, Odisha (PIN 756117), is the grand entrance gate to the revered Dargah of Hazrat Huzoor Mujahid‑e‑Millat Maulana Habibur Rehman Qadri Abbasi (R.A.). Established in the mid‑20th century as the central entry point to the shrine, the gate symbolizes a spiritual threshold for pilgrims. The Dargah itself honours a prominent Qadri‑Naqshbandi Sufi saint, born in 1904 in Bhadrak and passing in 1981, whose legacy includes six pilgrimages to Mecca and countless miracles attributed to him . Over the decades, Bab‑e‑Habib has served both a functional and spiritual role—welcoming devotees of all faiths to the Urs celebrations held annually on the 5th and 6th of Jamid‑ul‑Awwal—and has evolved into a cherished historical marker of Dhamanagar’s Islamic heritage.
