## Caption

At least 116 people, many of them women and children, were killed in a stampede at a Hindu religious gathering in northern India, authorities said, in one of the country’s worst such tragedies in years.
 
The stampede happened in a village in Hathras district in Utter Pradesh, southeast of capital New Delhi, where authorities said thousands had gathered in sweltering late-afternoon temperatures.
 
The stampede occurred when a crowd of devotees started pushing toward the stage after the event to touch the preacher, said Yogi Adityanath, chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state.
