Devotees caught in a stampede after the collapse of a portion of the bridge over the Ganga at the Kumbh Mela in Hardwar on Wednesday. At least seven people died while several others were reported to be injured as thousands of devotees gathered to participate in the royal bath. A total of 16 million pilgrims took a dip in the Ganga on Baisakhi on Wednesday. PHOTO: Biplab Banerjee
