In this Friday, August 26, 2016 photo, the Manikarnika Ghat, center, is submerged by the flood waters in Varanasi, India. As the mighty Ganges River overflowed its banks this past week following heavy monsoon rains, large parts of the Hindu holy town of Varanasi were submerged by floodwaters, keeping away thousands of Hindu devotees. Varanasi is a pilgrim town that Hindus visit to take a dip in the holy Ganges. (Photo by Tsering Topgyal/AP Photo)
