A leak in the gas cylinders led to the powerful blast, officials said.
Two children died and around 50 people were injured after two gas cylinders exploded during a wedding near Rajasthan's Jodhpur on Thursday. A leak in the gas cylinders kept where the wedding feast was being prepared led to the powerful blast, officials said.
A portion of the house where the wedding was taking place also collapsed due to the impact of the blast.
Twelve people are reported to have suffered serious burn injuries.
The incident took place in Bhungra village, about 60 kms from Jodhpur.
"It's a very serious accident. 42 people out of the 60 injured were referred to MGH hospital. Treatment is going on," Himanshu Gupta, District Collector, said, according to news agency ANI.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot is expected to visit the injured in the hospital this evening.
