At least 60 people have died and many more were injured after a stampede at a religious event.

This stampede happened while the people were attempting to leave after the event ended. The event was held in a tent with Hindu leader, Bhole Baba. However, the tent collapsed.

This devastation is not the first time something like this has happened during a religious event in India. Back in 2013, 115 people died after fears of a bridge collapse for a temple festival in Madhya Pradesh, and 100 other people died during an Indian festival in 2011.

The rush to pray to and hear from false gods has been an unfortunate cause of death for many people in this area of the world. Instead of being killed for seeking out a false god that can never fill them, we should be praying for the gospel to be preached and eyes to be opened to the truth of who Jesus is in places that have been steeped in the worship of idolatry.
