Ten devotees were killed and 70 injured in a stampede on August 10, 2015 at Baba Baidyanath Dham temple in Deoghar in Jharkhand, where thousands of pilgrims had queued up to offer water at the shivalinga on the second somvar, coinci ding with ekadashi, both con sidered auspicious for Hin dus. A communique from the state headquarters said the stampede occurred when a group of kanwariyas tried to force themselves forward. the stampede took place at Belabagan, 10 km from the temple premises, be tween 3:30 and 4am when a po liceman used his stick to dis perse the kanwariays heading towards the temple premises.
