A photograph of flood damage in Sindhanur, Karnataka. A collapsed earthen embankment and rubble fill the foreground, with corrugated tin sheets, palm fronds and bent metal pipes scattered across the ground. Behind a whitewashed wall stands a two-storey brick building with unfinished concrete edges and cloth hanging in its upper windows. On the left, a few figures stand and sit near the water's edge, and a grey river or flood water stretches in the distance under a hazy sky.
