At least six girl students were hospitalised after being injured in a stampede-like situation at the Jagannath Temple in Puri, police said.
The condition of the girls is stated to be stable.
The students, part of a 70-member group of boys and girls from Hrudananda High School in Rasgovindpur area of Mayurbhanj district, had come to Puri on Monday for a picnic during the Christmas holidays, a police officer said.
