In this Thursday, Aug. 25, 2016 photo, Hindu funerals are performed atop of a Hindu temple at the flooded Manikarnika Ghat 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. (AP Photo/Tsering Topgyal)
