What happened at the temple
Thousands of people went to a famous temple to offer prayers to Goddess Mahankali. The lines to get inside were very long and stretched for over a kilometre on all four sides. People had to stand in the hot afternoon sun for many hours just to get their turn.
Why people were angry
- Devotees waited in long lines for a very long time.
- Important guests and leaders were allowed to go inside quickly.
- Regular people felt it was unfair that they had to wait so long.
- Crowd management failed to keep things moving smoothly.
What happens next
Temple leaders and local authorities will need to plan better for big festivals. They must make sure everyone is treated fairly and does not have to wait in the sun for hours.
