Description
Mumbai residents rush to markets ahead of the start of a major 11-day Hindu festival despite warnings of a new Covid-19 wave in India's financial capital. Authorities will limit the height of effigies of the elephant-headed god Ganesha to reduce the number of devotees carrying them during the festival, which starts Friday. Processions on the festival's first and last days are also banned.
"As you can see, the public is not afraid of corona anymore," said one Mumbai resident at a busy market. "It looks like coronavirus never even existed in the world." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
