Officials in the state of Karnataka are working to launch a campaign called "Life-Giving Selfies". The BBC journalist Geetha Pandey writes that the move has been taken to warn people about the deaths of four students during the past few months.
The Kundanjaneer temple is about 30 kilometers (19 miles) away from Bangalore. Last Sunday, around 20 college students went to visit one last Sunday.

The temple was built in the year 1932 in Ramanankulam village and not only many devotees but also the nearby college students.

Young people from the National Students' Army (NCC) cleaned the temple premises throughout the morning. Then the sunshine in the afternoon was decided to bathe in the temple pool.
They all smile and cheerfully say that Goffy was taking a shop where Manjunath.
But that day ended in tragedy. One of the students who were bathing was G. Vishnu drowned in a 15-foot deep pit.
The head of the sinking youth is evident in a particular cell that the students have taken. But they look at the other side of the camera.
After no one had noticed the sinking young man, one hour later he was found missing. Then, after three hours with the help of police and local residents, the body of the deceased was found.
Just a few weeks after this incident, one more tragedy occurred just one hour away from the temple. Three young men were killed when the train crashed into the train.
"When I went through this morning at 8:15 am, my relative was quiet," says Sarath Gowda, an engineering student from a nearby village.
After half an hour, he says he came to the place where hundreds of people gathered together.
"Everywhere their body parts were scattered and they were lying on the railway bridges to take Selphy," he said, adding that no one saw the train coming up on the day of a young man.
The two incidents in Karnataka were shocking, saying that young people should think about the state-of-the-art seafi cycles and at times they are in danger of becoming killfies.
Tourism Minister Prayang Karke told the BBC, "We are working on booths in 11 districts on tourist sites.
"In those advertisements, there will be awareness stories about cellphones that will die, and the social media, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, warns about the guilty," he said.
