Flood Forces Cremations to Higher Ground

People carry out last rites along a path and row of houses situated further uphill from the actual cremation spot due to flooding caused by the rising water level of the Ganges River in Daraganj Ghat in Prayagraj, India, on August 3, 2025. Monsoon rains have led to surging river levels, forcing local residents to adapt critical religious and cultural rituals to higher ground. The Ganges, considered sacred by millions of Hindus, is a traditional site for cremations, especially at ghats like Daraganj. As flooding submerges the usual cremation areas, mourners continue to perform final rites in improvised locations, preserving centuries-old customs despite the natural disruption. The scene reflects the intersection of climate impacts with spiritual traditions in flood-prone regions of India. Photo by Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
