The 'kanwarias' (devotees of Lord Shiva) were on the tracks after alighting from the Samastipur-Saharsa passenger when they were run over by the Saharsa-Patna Rajyarani Express travelling at 80 kmph, officials said. 
The incident triggered angry protests by locals who attacked the train driver and set on fire its coach besides engine of another train at Dhamara Ghat Station in Khagaria district.
Additional director general of police (ADG) law and order S K Bharadwaj said 35 pilgrims were killed. 
Though the driver applied emergency brakes, it was too late by then, he said, adding an internal inquiry has been ordered into the incident.
The pilgrims were going to nearby Katyani Sthan temple to offer 'jalabhishek' to Lord Shiva on the fourth and final Monday of the holy month of Shrawan when the mishap took place.
