etymology of "juggernaut" (sh.itjust.works)

I'm in India and I just found out the etymology of the word juggernaut.

it comes from the Sanskrit jagganath, which means " lord of the world", and is the name of one of the major Hindu gods.

but what's awesome is he's basically their giant buff God.

so all his temples are like super squat and beefy, sort of brutalist architecture.

so the X-Men iteration is pretty close to what you can imagine the lord of the world looking like.
