The Seeta Charan Temple on the banks of the Ganges in Muñger, Bihar, remains underwater for roughly six months each year due to flooding.
The Seeta Charan Temple, situated on the eastern bank of the Ganges in Muñger, Bihar, is a prominent place of worship for local devotees. According to reports, the temple is submerged in flood waters for about six months every year, as the river swells during the monsoon season.
Despite the seasonal inundation, the temple remains a focal point of religious activity. During the Chhath festival, a three‑day fair is organized at the site, drawing thousands of pilgrims who perform rituals and offer prayers to the river goddess.
Local authorities and temple management have adapted to the yearly flooding by reinforcing the structure and ensuring safe access for devotees during the dry months. The community continues to regard the temple as a symbol of resilience and devotion amid the changing riverine landscape.
