💨 Abstract

A stampede at the Sree Lairai Devi temple in North Goa on Saturday resulted in six fatalities. Despite the incident and the temple committee's appeal, rituals continued at the temple on Sunday. Hundreds of devotees walked over 2 km to participate in a ritual where the goddess visits the homes of locals. The temple committee and police have placed barricades to control the crowd, but many still attended due to their faith in the deity.
