Heavy rains across India on Saturday left thousands of Hindu pilgrims stranded in Kashmir and killed three people in Mumbai, while at least eight fishermen were feared drowned off the stormy southern coast.
Hindus camped out in forests after rains suspended one of India's most important pilgrimages, to a Himalayan cave shrine where devotees worship a phallus-shaped ice stalagmite seen as a symbol of Lord Shiva, the Hindu god of destruction.
Over 50,000 people living in low lying areas of Andhra Pradesh state were shifted to safety during the storm. One died after a wall collapsed on him following torrential downpours, while two were electrocuted, police said.
