Although many coastal regions are currently experiencing the worst of the monsoon's wrath, numerous areas of Bihar also recently experienced flooding due to the nonstop, torrential rainfall. The Ganges and other rivers in Bihar see considerable water level rises during the rainy season, frequently reaching the danger level and resulting in flooding in the surrounding villages. The Ganga river was swollen, and an elephant with a mahout riding on top of him could be seen attempting to cross the raging waves. A social media video going viral depicts the mahout attempting to lead the elephant to safety as the animal is almost entirely submerged in water and appears to be drowning. The breath-taking images show an elephant and mahout crossing a raging river.
