Heavy overnight rainfall in Dehradun and adjoining areas caused the Tamasa River, which flows through the premises of the historic Shri Tapkeshwar Mahadev Temple, to swell significantly, local officials said on Tuesday.

The torrential rains across northern India have led to flood-like conditions along several major river basins, affecting multiple districts in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.

In Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj, rising water levels in both the Ganga and Yamuna rivers forced floodwaters into residential settlements along the riverbanks, causing distress among residents and prompting municipal authorities to keep response teams on alert.

In Varanasi, the water level of the Ganga River has been continuously rising due to sustained heavy rainfall upstream, inundating areas along the river.
