# Photo gallery captures Kolkata waterlogging, Kanwar rituals and Rohtas protest 2026-08-06T01:27:08+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk A Deccan Herald photo gallery from 6 August 2026 collected scenes from India and abroad. In Kolkata, people are shown wading through a road left waterlogged by heavy rain. In Prayagraj, women Kanwariyas march toward Lord Shiva temples carrying holy Ganga water to perform Jalabhishek during the Shravan month. A drone image from Barkowice in Poland shows boats stuck in mud at the Sulejow Reservoir, its bottom exposed after a heatwave lowered water levels. In Reasi, Jammu and Kashmir, participants carry a 200 metre Indian National Flag during a Tiranga rally organised by the Jammu and Kashmir People's Forum. Another image, from Rohtas, shows a protest that turned violent following a labourer's killing there. Each photograph carries only a short caption naming its location and subject, with no further detail on what led to or followed from the events shown. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The gallery runs on captions alone. Each names a place and what is happening in it, with little on what caused the scene or what came of it. The Sulejow Reservoir image is explained by the heatwave named in its caption and by nothing else, and the Rohtas picture attaches a labourer's killing to the protest without saying who was killed or what followed. Kolkata's waterlogged road and the Prayagraj Kanwariyas carrying Ganga water for Jalabhishek need less explanation, since the Shravan month and the heavy rain account for both. In the gallery dated 6 August 2026, the Reasi rally is the one entry whose caption names an organiser, the Jammu and Kashmir People's Forum, alongside the 200 metre flag it shows. ## Coverage - www.deccanherald.com Tags: Kolkata, Prayagraj Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/news-in-pics-august-6-2026-best-photos-from-around-the-world/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
