“ Original footnotes ↑ In the interior part of Hindostan an idol, called Jaggernaut, is worshipped by immense numbers, who make frequent pilgrimages to his temple in Orisa. On these occasions the idol is brought forth on a stupendous car or tower, about sixty feet in height, amidst the acclamations of hundreds of thousands of worshippers, who resort thither from various parts of India. Many of whom sacrifice themselves to this idol; numbers of pilgrims die on the road; and their bodies frequently remain unburied. ”
