At least 15 pilgrims were injured in a stampede at Muzaffarpur in North Bihar early on Monday morning.
All the injured have been admitted to the local government hospital for medical attention. No report of any casualty has come so far.
Officials said that a large number of pilgrims had congregated in the town to offer prayer at the local Shiva temple Baba Garibnath. In the month of Shravan Shiva devotees come from far off places to offer prayer at the temple.
As the crowd swelled, pilgrims broke the barricade and a stampede took place in which at least 15 were injured, said officials.
The number of injured could also go up, officials added.
Every year district administration makes elaborate arrangements for pilgrims in the town by deploying large number of security personnel.
