India's southwesterly monsoon has hit western parts of the country with heavy, persistent rain, leaving widespread disruption and flooded roads and buildings.
A joint rescue operation was carried out by the Indian Air Force, Indian Navy, and National Disaster Response Force at the flood-ravaged parts of western and southern India.
Two women entered a Hindu temple in Kerala early on Wednesday, a day after thousands of women formed a human chain across the southern state. India's Supreme Court last year voided the ban on women aged 10-50 from entering the temple.
The worst floods in a century in the Indian state of Kerala have killed hundreds of people and forced hundreds of thousands into relief camps.
Famed for its pristine palm-lined beaches and tea plantations, Kerala has been battered by the monsoon every year but the rains have been particularly severe this season.
