#139: lord of the world...



A word for, a powerful, unstoppable force or entity which crushes anything in its way, is derived from the temple shown above. They have a chariot pulling ceremony, in which people have been killed by either coming under the wheels or stampede caused. what is the word? for 0.5 extra identify the temple.

Cracked by everyone who attempted. Rohan, Pranav, Anshuman, Crime master gogo, V. chandrashekhar, Kaushik, Karna.
I think V chandrashekhar is safely keeping himself in the lead.

Answer is juggernaut. its derived from the diety Lord Jagannath. jagannath means lord of the world in sanskrit (correct me if im wrong).

An indirect hint.
A was inspired by B and C to start something very popular. What is it?

Spot on V. Chandrashekhar and good try Rohan.
