The Indian police said Tuesday that the death toll from the fire at the southern Indian temple rose to 116, ABC News reported.
Besides the deaths in the early Sunday blaze at the Hindu Puttingal Devi temple complex in the village of Paravoor in Kerala state, more than 380 people were injured.
Police officer Gupakumar said the seven were taken into custody late Monday after a two-day hunt by police.
Police are investigating temple board members and associates of firework contractors for possible charges of attempted murder and culpable homicide, both punishable by life imprisonment, and illegally storing a cache of explosives.
