The Death at Juggernot

The bloodiest of all was the annual chariot festival, or ratheatra. Buchanan wrote that they were just like, frenzied devotees to juggernot who would throw themselves under the wheels of these massive wooden chariots and be crushed to death. Its in this image, this unstoppable machine like chariot crushing everything in its path, that you see echoes of the word that we use to day, juggernot.
