Two fire engines rushed to the spot but the local people had almost doused the flames by then.
A fire brigade official claimed that deodorant bottles and firecrackers stored on the top floor of the 7-storey building led to the explosion.
Police, however, have not confirmed the exact cause of explosion yet.
The incident created a panic among local people but no one was hurt, a police official said.
