At least six devotees were killed and 55 injured in a catastrophic stampede at a Hindu temple in Goa’s Shirgao village late Friday, police confirmed Saturday.

The tragedy occurred during the annual Shri Lairai Zatra festival, known for its fire-walking rituals, when hundreds of worshippers gathered in tight spaces.

According to Goa police officer V.S. Chadonkar, the stampede erupted during frenzied religious ceremonies, leaving eight victims in critical condition at local hospitals.

The incident highlights India’s persistent struggle with crowd control at major religious events, where safety protocols are frequently ignored. Stampedes have become alarmingly common during Hindu pilgrimages and festivals, with past tragedies claiming hundreds of lives. Authorities are investigating whether inadequate crowd management or structural deficiencies at the centuries-old temple contributed to the deadly crush.

Local reports suggest the stampede began as devotees pushed forward to witness the Zatra festival’s signature fire-walking ceremony—a ritual honoring the goddess Lairai. At the time of filing this report, Goa’s chief minister has ordered a high-level inquiry into the disaster, which has been noted as one of the deadliest stampedes in recent Indian religious gatherings.
