MUMBAI HEAT..... Maximum temperature recorded in the city
As the mercury peaks in the city, with temperatures reaching 40 degree celsius, everyone – including animals, feel the heat. To get relief from the sweltering heat, umbrellas are out, young girls wrap themselves in scarves to protect themselves and sales of packaged water as well as that of the roadside gollawalas is on the rise. The heat brings with it the good old earthen 'matkas' back into fashion. Our photographer AZAD SHRIVASTAV travels around the city and captures the
mood
