TL;DR Summary

Thirty-five bodies have been recovered from a well at a Hindu temple in central India after the structure covering it collapsed, causing dozens of people to fall into the muddy water. Nearly 140 rescuers, including army personnel, worked to pull the bodies from the well. Witnesses said a large crowd of devotees had thronged the temple to perform a fire ritual and celebrate the festival for the deity Rama. Building collapses are common in India because of poor construction and a failure to observe regulations.
