| At least 64 pilgrims have been killed in a stampede at a religious festival in the southern Indian state of Kerala, officials say.
Scores more have been injured in the crush, which was reportedly triggered by a road accident.
The pilgrims were returning from the Hindu shrine of Sabarimala, which is in a remote, mountainous, densely-forested area.
The authorities say the death toll could rise.
Temple officials estimate that up to 100 people have been killed, Kerala Temple Affairs Minister Ramachandran Kadannappally told Reuters news agency.
The stampede happened at Pulmedu, near the town of Vandiperiyar in Idukki district, Indian media reported.
Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims had gathered at the hill shrine on Friday, the last day of an annual festival.
The festival runs for two months and attracts millions of visitors every year.

So far, that's 64 mystics less... more oxygen on planet earth for us...
Hey, I wish they had a religious festival once per hour...
