Floods in Bihar have made it difficult for people to live. The flood situation in Darbhanga can be gauged from the fact that there is no dry earth left to operate the pyre. After the death of a man in Mahisatai village of Kusheshwarsthan, scaffolding had to be built in the crematorium for cremation. His pyre was decorated on it. Even the last rites and parikrama were done with the help of a boat.
