Huge inferno kills more than 100 people in temple

Blaze started when spark from fireworks show ignited separate batch of explosives

A massive fire broke out during a fireworks display in a Hindu temple in south India early on Sunday, killing more than 100 people and injuring at least 200 others, officials said.

The fire started when a spark from the unauthorized fireworks show ignited a separate batch of fireworks that were being stored at the Puttingal temple complex in Paravoor village, a few hours north of Kerala's state capital of Thiruvananthapuram, said Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, the state's top elected official.
