In this August 7, 2018 photo, young Hindu monks lead cattle at a Satra, or Vaishnavite monastery, in Majuli, in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. Majuli is said to be one of the largest river islands in the world, surrounded by the fast-moving waters of the massive, though braided, Brahmaputra river. The island, known as the cultural capital of Assam with its Hindu religious Vaishnavite monasteries, floods every year with water ripping its banks, inundating homes, claiming lives and lands.
