Local risks in Rajgir

Malmas Mela crowds

The administration estimated about 8 lakh devotees at the second royal bath of the 2026 Malmas Mela, on Sunday 31 May. Queues ran about 2 km between the Jara Devi temple and the kund complex and some pilgrims waited for hours to enter the bathing areas.

Fall from a fair swing ride

In May 2026 a 25-year-old man fell from the Tsunami Swing at the Malmas fair and died in hospital. Police registered a case against the operator, and major rides at the fair were suspended for a time.

Ropeway stopped by lightning

In the first week of August 2026 about 15 to 20 pilgrims were left hanging in ropeway trolleys after bad weather and lightning halted the ropeway. Trained staff brought everyone down safely and the ropeway restarted only after an engineer inspection.

Temple crowd crush in the district

On a Tuesday morning, reported on 1 April 2026, at least eight devotees died and eight were hurt in a stampede at the Sheetla Mata temple in Bihar Sharif, the district headquarters. A heavy rush was suspected, and it is the district's clearest warning for any pilgrim town.

Stay safe: quick checklist

Save 112, 101, 102 and 100 in your phone. Teach children and elders how to use them.
At the Malmas Mela or any big bathing day, arrive early, follow the one-way entry and exit routes, keep children by the hand, and step out of a queue as soon as pressure builds from behind.
Before a fair ride, check that your belt or bar is locked and let the operator confirm it. Do not film or take selfies on a moving ride, and do not board if the ride looks worn.

Do not board the ropeway in lightning or a rising storm. If it stops, stay seated and calm, keep your hands inside, and follow the staff.
The hot spring water can scald and the kund steps are slippery. Keep children away from the hottest outlets and test the water on your hand before bathing.
Cool the burn under cool, clean running water for 20 minutes. Even 10 minutes helps if that's all you can manage. No ice, toothpaste, oil or butter.
