Indian monsoon can be fun !

In july at monsoon time, when river Ganga flood the ghat of the little town of Mirzapur, kids jump from the roof of he temple. As soon as they reach the water, they have to swim with all their energy not to be taken away by the strong current. And of course, they love if someone is there to record their "tour de force"…
A way to have fun that cost nothing, developp strenght and solidarity. No accident recorded up to now.

Mirzapur is located 60 km from Benares in North India, Uttar Pradesh.
