At least 14 people have died after a pandal collapsed during a Hindu ceremony in India.
The pandal, a marquee-like temporary structure in the Barmer district of India's western desert state of Rajasthan, was blasted by a strong storm.
There were also 50 injured during the incident, a senior government official said.
Locals had gathered for a religious event inside the structure when the incident occurred.
Niraj Mishra, sub-divisional magistrate of Barmer district, said some people died after being electrocuted by live electricity wires as the tent collapsed.
Others were hit by falling debris.
The injured have been taken to hospital.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his concern over the incident.
He said in a tweet on his office's official account that the incident in Rajasthan state was "unfortunate" and his thoughts "were with the bereaved families".
He also wished the injured a quick recovery.
An investigation into the incident is being conducted, while relief and rescue work was being carried out by the local administration.
The ceremony, Ram Katha, is popular among Hindu villagers.
It narrates glory of the Hindu religion from the religious epic Ramayana.
