NEW DELHI (CNN) - A stampede at Hindu temple in western India killed 30 people and injured 100 others Tuesday, state Police Chief K.S. Bains told CNN.

The pathway to the temple has a sharp slope and that pathway is where the stampede took place, he said.

The temple is located in the state of Rajasthan, Bains said.
