While the water level of Ganga and Yamuna is rising rapidly in the Sangam city of Prayagraj, people are also facing problems due to the flood. The situation is such that people are having to perform the last rites on the roads. A similar picture was seen in Daraganj area, where flood water has filled the cremation ground. Due to this, the last rites are being performed on the roads. People are forced to cremate the bodies in a line.
Actually, the area where cremation takes place in Daraganj is in the Sangam area. The water level in Ganga and Yamuna is constantly rising. Water is visible everywhere. Due to the flood, the huts of the priests and the people living there have also been submerged in water. The shops in the Sangam area have been completely submerged. People are somehow taking out their belongings safely and going to higher areas. The road going to Nagvasuki is also flooded. And flood water has entered the Lathe Hanuman temple of Sangam, due to which people are taking darshan from outside.
Due to the flood, people are facing problems. Due to flood water in Daraganj area, last rites are not being performed and people are forced to cremate the bodies on the road itself. Now as the water level of both the rivers will increase, the problems of the people living in the low-lying areas will increase further. The administration has also become alert about the flood and is asking people to leave the low-lying areas.

Ganga water entered the reclining Hanuman temple
The water of Ganga has reached the statue inside the reclining Hanuman temple situated on the banks of Sangam. On Wednesday morning, as soon as Maa Ganga arrived, bells were rung. Aarti was performed and Maa Ganga was welcomed by invoking her. According to beliefs, the year in which the water of Ganga bathes Lord Hanuman in the temple, no natural disaster occurs in the country, state and city and there is peace everywhere. After the water of Ganga came to the temple, the saints and devotees performed Puja Paath and chanted mantras and raised slogans. Slowly, the water of Ganga started coming from the reclining stairs and touching Lord Hanuman and in no time the entire statue was submerged.
The only such temple in the world
Let us tell you that this is the only temple of mythological importance in the world where Hanuman ji is lying down and appears to his devotees in this resting posture. Even now the water level of Ganga and Yamuna in Sangam city is much below the danger mark. Every year the people here eagerly wait for such a flood in the Ganga that the water of Ganga enters the Hanuman temple and Bajrang Bali can be anointed with Ganga water. The doors of the temple have now been closed. The temple will remain closed as long as the water of Ganga remains here. After the water level decreases, the temple will be opened again for the devotees after performing Puja.
