In fact, a long queue of devotees had started at the world famous Baba Brahmeshwar Dham temple from 2 o’clock in the midnight regarding Mahashivratri. In the race to offer water first in the afternoon, devotees started entering the sanctum sanctorum without queuing up. During this there was panic. The temple administration took command and stopped the devotees near the gate and lathi-charged them. Meanwhile, people started running here and there.
Twelve people, including a woman, were injured in the stampede. Two of these women were beheaded. After taking them to the medical team deployed at the local level by the temple administration, they were admitted to PHC Raghunathpur. Out of this, 4 people have been admitted to Sadar Hospital in critical condition.
due to the slowness of the administration
The injured say that we had reached Baba Brahmeshwar Dham for Jalabhishek. Suddenly there was a stampede near the main gate. We got injured in this. On the other hand, the temple management committee said that the accident is very unfortunate. Due to the slowness of the administration, there was chaos in the afternoon. Here, Dumrao SDM Kumar Pankaj told that all arrangements had been made. Entry carrying jewelery and mobile was banned. There was some chaos near the main gate. Some people got injured in this. Four teams of the Health Department are doing the work of treating and leaving.
popularly known as Manokamna Mahadev
It is believed that whoever comes to the court of Brahmeshwar Nath fulfills his wishes. He is also called Manokamna Mahadev. Here the importance of Jalabhishek is throughout the year, but in Savan and Mahashivaratri, there is special importance of Jalabhishek of Kanwariyas. This is the reason why lakhs of people reach to have darshan of Baba Brahmeshwar Nath in the month of Savan and on Mahashivratri.
