2011 Sabarimala crowd crush
The 2011 Sabarimala crowd crush occurred on January 14, 2011, during the annual pilgrimage season at the Sabarimala Temple in Kerala, India. This tragic incident resulted from an overwhelming influx of devotees gathered for the Makaravilakku festival, drawing millions to the temple complex. As the crowd swelled, a sudden rush toward a narrow pathway led to an uncontrolled surge, causing panic and subsequent fatalities. Reports indicated that at least 102 individuals lost their lives, while hundreds more sustained injuries. The disaster highlighted significant safety and management failures in crowd control at religious sites, prompting calls for improved measures to ensure the safety of pilgrims in future gatherings.
