Ganga-Yamuna water level rises, enters Prayagraj's Bade Hanuman temple

Heavy monsoon rains caused River Ganga to swell. The increased water levels in Ganga and Yamuna due to monsoon rains have submerged the low-lying areas of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. On Aug 5, water also entered the Bade Hanuman Mandir near Sangam at Prayagraj.

"It's a long-awaited moment and a sign of a happy year," said Head priest of the Bade Hanuman temple, Mahant Narendra Giri.
