Temple Stampede kills 147, injured 500

At least 147 people have been killed in a stampede at a Hindu temple in the north-western Indian state of Rajasthan, the state government says.

More than 425 people were injured, many seriously, in the crush at the Chamunda Devi temple in Jodhpur.

Some devotees slipped on the slope of the temple path, others started falling on each other causing the stampede.

A majority of those killed died due to suffocation.

The BBC's Damian Grammaticas in Delhi says this is the fourth time this year that lives had been lost - probably needlessly - during a stampede at a hindu religious festival in India.
