Kanpur’s ‘monsoon temple’ has spoken: Good rainfall this year

The ancient Jagannath temple in Kanpur is renowned for its accurate prediction of the monsoon arrival. A team from the meteorological department of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology predicted heavy rain this season based on the temple’s mystical tradition. The temple’s stone slab starts dripping days before the monsoon, and this year, significant drops indicate a good rainfall forecast.
