At least 11 people, including a woman, were killed and 30 others injured in a temple stampede in Jharkhand's Deogarh district early on Monday, police said.
"Ten men and a woman died as the devotees tried to overtake each other around 4 am," Deputy Commissioner of police, Deogarh Amit Kumar said.
Reportedly, thousands of people tried to force their way into the temple when gates were opened early in the morning.
The incident took place near a Durga temple at Belabagan More on Deogarh-Jassidih, about 350 kilometres from Ranchi, Civil Surgeon Diwakar Kamath said.
All the injured are being treated at a nearby hospital, Kamath said.
Stampedes are not uncommon at India's large religious festivals, where crowds routinely number in the tens of millions.
