Tirupati's Tirumala Venkateswara Temple

Many have been injured in a stampede-like situation at the Tirumala shrine, following a heavy rush of pilgrims on April 13. According to reports, a large crowd of pilgrims gathered at the ticket counter in the shrine to secure Sarvadarshan tickets, which led to the stampede-like situation. Notably, the temple is committed to God Venkateswara, a form of Vishnu, who is believed to have appeared to save mankind.
