Many parts of northern Kerala have been underwater for over three days. The hammering rains have flooded many areas, while completely submerging buildings and houses.
As the rain declined, Kerala has slowly started stitching themselves back together. Efforts have begun to clean buildings which have remained underwater for days.
Lord Ram temple in Sulthan Bathery Wayanad has been under water for over two days. On Sunday as the water level receded, volunteers Muslim Youth League - White Guards, offered to clean the temple.
The whole temple building including the shrine has remained under water for over two days and hence completely covered in muck. The volunteers soon swung into action at the temple. The temple and premises were cleaned completely by Sunday evening.
This cleaning is a challenge considering the amount of debris left behind the flood waters.
