A stampede during the Rath Yatra festival in Puri, Odisha, resulted in three deaths and numerous injuries near the Shree Gundicha Temple.
A stampede during the revered Rath Yatra in Puri claimed three lives and left several others injured early Sunday morning, as thousands gathered near the Gundicha Temple for a glimpse of the deities. The incident occurred as the grand chariots of Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra, and Goddess Subhadra approached the temple, located around three kilometres from the Jagannath Temple, where the annual Yatra traditionally begins.
The mishap took place at around 4:30 am, when the chariots had just reached the Gundicha Temple. Devotees thronged the area in massive numbers to witness the sacred event. Amid the growing rush, a few individuals fell to the ground, triggering a panic-fueled stampede.
