Baby Jesus is once more sending sinners to hell!
At least 147 people have been killed in a stampede at a Hindu temple in the north-western Indian state of Rajasthan, the state government says.
More than 150 people were injured, many seriously, in the crush at the Chamunda Devi temple in Jodhpur.
A wall near the temple is said to have collapsed, causing panic among thousands of devotees marking the start of the Hindu Navaratra festival.
There have been a number of recent deadly stampedes at Indian temples.
The BBC's Damian Grammaticas in Delhi says this is the fourth time this year that lives had been lost - probably needlessly - during a stampede at a religious festival in India.
He says crowd control at such events is usually rudimentary and the police simply not trained in effective crowd management.
Last month 140 pilgrims were killed in a stampede at a mountain temple in the northern state of Himachal Pradesh.
More.
That 'll teach them!
