A massive fire broke out during a fireworks display in a temple in South India early Sunday, killing more than 100 people and injuring at least 200 more, authorities said.

The fire started at 3:15 a.m. local time at the Puttingal temple in Kerala state, when a spark from a fireworks show ignited a separate batch of fireworks that were being stored at the temple complex in Paravoor village, a few hours north of Kerala’s state capital of Thiruvananthapuram, CNN reports.

The temple did not have permission for the fireworks celebration, according to a local police office M.S. Santosh.
