In pictures: India rain chaos

Heavy monsoon rains have triggered off floods in India. Mumbai in the west is one of the worst affected areas.

Mumbai's 150-year-old drainage system failed again, raising fears of a repeat of last year's deluge.

Traffic came to a standstill. Last year's floods shut down Mumbai for a week leading to chaos.

Mumbai's busy suburban railway system, the city's lifeline, shut down after flooding of the tracks.

Schools and colleges are closed and children ventured out to play in the water.

Others enjoyed a game of water volley ball on the streets.

Only a few managed to walk through the flooded streets to work.

Elsewhere, in the eastern city of Patna, incessant rain has begun to disrupt normal life.

Meteorologists predict more rain in the coming days.
