The incident occurred as thousands had gathered on the occasion of the third Monday of the holy month of Shravan.

According to Barabanki District Magistrate Shashank Tripathi, monkeys knocked down a high-tension wire from a pole, which fell onto a tin shed, causing an electric shock to run across the temple premises and sparking chaos and a stampede.
