Eleven die in lightning strike while taking selfies © Getty Images Lightning strikes kill dozens in India every year
A lightning strike killed at least 11 people and injured many more in the northern city of Jaipur on Sunday.
The victims were taking selfies in the rain atop a watch tower at the 12th Century Amer Fort, a popular tourist attraction.
Some 27 people were on the tower and the wall of the fort when the incident happened - and some of them reportedly jumped to the ground.
Lightning strikes have been killing 2,000 Indians on average since 2004.
A senior police officer told the media that the tower was a popular spot in the fort, adding that most of the people among the dead were young.
