Multiple people were feared dead in a crowd crush at the world’s largest religious festival in India Wednesday, as tens of millions of devotees went to bathe in a river on one of the most sacred days of the Hindu festival.

More than seven people were killed in a stampede at the Maha Kumbh Mela, or Great Pitcher Festival, in the northern Indian holy city of Prayagraj on Wednesday.

Footage showed bodies being stretchered away and people sitting crying, while others stepped over a carpet of discarded belongings.
