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.
