Hi evrybody,

Please take a look at my visual response to this post! This drawing of a ficticious comic book cover about the bastardization of Jagannath into the English word Juggernaut, with a different spin on its wheels.

Feel free to share your comments and responses to this image!

I was delighted to find that the Jagannath Temple has a website: http://www.jagannathtemplepuri.com/

The town of puri is bustling with the rituals of Lord Jagannath.
Few days after He will take a long bath in full moon.Sleep for 15 days and then will start a CRAZY CROWD CAR CARNIVAL known as RATH YATRA or Car festival. on 16th July.

Rajiv,

The comic cover ain't funny at all, in fact, on the contrary, it is absolutely profane depiction of Lord Jaganath and doesn't appeal to the religious sensibility at all. Did you paint it to be a satire of some sort on the modern era??

Normally, I do not discuss religion. But I got to say that the poster is not palatable. Jagannath of Puri is a lovable icon is not as apocalyptical as you potray.

there are many otherways to be a critic ...
