Porbandar, Junagadh, and Devbhumi Dwarka districts in Gujarat also faced waterlogging due to heavy rain, resulting in traffic snarls and the closure of some roads, causeways, and underpasses.
Speaking to ANI about the hardships of the waterlogging, a priest said, "Though the rain in Porbandar has stopped for the last 18 hours, there are a few areas that are under water. Apart from a few areas, even the temples are flooded. The famous Rokadiya Hanuman temple is flooded. Even after rain has stopped since yesterday night, the Rokadiya Hanuman temple is still 1 foot under water."
"The rains, however, haven't stopped devotees from going to the temple for the darshan. Even today, worshippers and Lord Hanuman's followers are coming with coconuts and flowers to present as offerings. The temple is flooded but the flow of worshippers hasn't decreased," he said.
