This is one of the oldest temples of Delhi. This is the Hanuman Man in Old Delhi, in Kashmiri gate, which is now completely inundated. As you can see, the temple has been shut and inside. Also, there's water just entering. And this is also the temple premises where we are coming to you from and there's knee deep water inside the temple premises. In fact, I was exactly at this spot just one hour ago and back then there was no water inside the temple. I was right here and there was no water inside the temple. But in just about an hour or two from no water, the water has come to my knee level right now because of the rising Yamuna level. Now, if I tell you where the Yamuna is from here on that side, you will see the Sun Permanent Hospital in Kashmiri gate and on the opposite, just if you go a little beyond that, which you can't now because there's just water everywhere and there. It's the Yamuna Bazar area and beyond, which is the Yamuna River. So from there the Yamuna River has crossed the Yamana Bazar area. It has crossed the roads, even the ring road between these two parts of the city and it has come to the site to enter the Hanuman Man, these are just unprecedented, unprecedented situation that we are seeing. And nobody could have thought that this would come true. The last flood, the last major major flood that Delhi saw, was in the year 1978. But even then it wasn't so bad. The water didn't enter these places to such a level. So this is absolutely unprecedented. It's a temple, which is which has been here since Delhi. I can remember Delhi and this temple is now inundated. It's a large part of this temple is underwater. It has been completely shut. This is where the main temple is. It's the Hanuman Mandir and nobody has seen the Hanuman Mandir in such a state ever. Nobody has seen Delhi in such a state ever, because the Yamuna River has just not been that high in its level till now. This time it has crossed 208 metres, which is an all time high, which is a level that the Yamana River has never seen. Now, on normal days you will see the Hanuman man being lined up with devotees. There are several people who come here every day. And that's why you can see these Prashad shops or these sweet shops around here also because there are just so many people who come here. In fact, I've been to this temple several times and I can tell you that usually there are queues up to the point which you are seeing. So there are queues even where people are swimming. Right now. At this point, there are queues up till here, normal time. So there you see the shoe racks like you would see in any other temple. So as you heard, there are these sweet shops. This is a popular several other sweet shops there as well. And all water has entered all of these sweet shops, these prasad shops. And it's just absolutely unbelievable what we are seeing right now. But this is the situation as the Yamana water level is only rising from here on as more and more water is being discharged from Haryana. So these places which have sort of been a major part of Delhi, they are also now currently underwater because of the overflowing river in Old Delhi with camera person, a mama
