Police told the Press Trust of India news agency that the stampede was due to overcrowding, but did not specify how many people were taking part.
Indian news website NDTV said the dead included three children and more than 20 women.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Sunday expressed condolences over the incident and ordered the setting up of a committee to investigate it.
