New Delhi, Aug 08: Three people died and several others were injured in a stampede at Khatu Shyam Ji temple in Rajasthan’s Sikar early on Monday morning.
The injured have been shifted to a hospital in Jaipur for treatment. The stampede took place at around 5 am in the morning during a monthly fair.
The Khatushyam Temple is a Hindu temple in the village of Khatushyamji, Rajasthan. It is a pilgrimage site for worshipping the deity Krishna and Barbarika who is often venerated as a Kuladevata.
Devotees believe the temple houses the head of Barbarika or Khatushyam, a legendary warrior who sacrifices his head upon the request of Krishna during the antebellum of the Kurukshetra War.
