In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Dhiti blog: The Navakalevara Ceremony at PuriKaivalyavaikuṇṭha (कैवल्यवैकुण्ठ) refers to Koili Baikuntha or the “graveyard where all the old deities are buried”.—Śrī Jagannātha (a form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa) is made of dāru (wood) because a dāru image cuts up the miseries of the world and imparts eternal bliss. [...] Brahmapadārtha refers to the “life-substance” or “soul” (of the image carved from wood).—As soon as the brahmapadārtha is taken out, the icon is considered “dead” for all intents and purposes. They are taken to a place known as Koili Baikuntha (kaivalyavaikuṇṭha), the graveyard where all the old deities are buried. The Daitās begin to weep, and mourn Jagannātha, whom they consider one of their clan. They remain in a state of aśauca (ritual impurity) for ten days henceforth (in observance of the typical mourning rites as prescribed by the dharmaśāstras).
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
