63 people died and dozens more were injured as a stampede broke out in at a temple in northern India leaving at least.

Thousands were gathering at the temple to receive free clothes and utensils being distributed during a religious ceremony to mark the anniversary of the death of the wife of the leader, Kripalu Maharaj. Deadly stampedes are a relatively common occurrence at temples in India, where large crowds congregate in small areas lacking facilities to control big gatherings. In 2008, more than 145 people died in a stampede at a remote Hindu temple at the foothill of the Himalayas.
