Reading news reports, the toll of the people who have died has already crossed 100. For Jodhpur this is a very big number. There has never been such a tragedy. The Chamunda temple is on one corner of the Mehrangarh Fort. The route to the temple is narrow. The temple itself is not so big. On the first day of Navratri there is anyway a very large rush. 20 years back during my college days, I too used to go to the temple. There used to be quite a large crowd on the first day.
20 years on, devotees have increased ten fold, but the temple size remains the same. Everyone wants to rush. Ever one wants a glimpse.
