Video shared on ANI’s Twitter page shows the Mahanandi Temple getting flooded, Tuesday, September 17, following heavy rainfall.
Heavy downpours in India have affected almost every part of the country this year and killed over 300 people.
Annual rainfall is essential in India, as rains support two-thirds of the 1.25 billion population living in rural areas, who rely on farming. But excessive rainfalls cause problems like floods, landslide, and water-borne diseases. (ANI/Reuters)
