The idol Jugger-naut, desiring to bathe in the Ganges, came in the form of a boy to the river, and then gave one of his golden ornaments to a confectioner for something to eat.

Next day the ornament was missing, and the priests could find it nowhere.

But that night in a dream the god revealed to a priest that he had given it to a certain confectioner to pay for his lunch; and it being found so, a festival was established on the spot, at which the idol is annually bathed.
The other festival of this month is the worship of the Ganges, the sacred river of India.

Here the people come to bathe and to offer sacrifices, which consist of flowers, incense, and clothes.

The most sacred spot is where the river enters the sea.
