Juggernaut
n.
One
of
the
names
under
which
Vishnu
, in
his
incarnation
as
Krishna
, is
worshiped
by
the
Hindoos
.
Juggernaut
A
particular
form
of
Vishnu
, or of
Krishna
,
whose
chief
idol
and
worship
are
at
Puri
, in
Orissa
.
The
idol
is
considered
to
contain
the
bones
of
Krishna
and
to
possess
a
soul
.
The
principal
festivals
are
the
Snanayatra
,
when
the
idol
is
bathed
,
and
the
Rathayatra
,
when
the
image
is
drawn
upon
a
car
adorned
with
obscene
paintings
.
Formerly
it
was
erroneously
supposed
that
devotees
allowed
themselves
to be
crushed
beneath
the
wheels
of
this
car
. It is
now
known
that
any
death
within
the
temple
of
Jagannath
is
considered
to
render
the
place
unclean
,
and
any
spilling
of
blood
in
the
presence
of
the
idol
is a
pollution
.
