As temperatures climb, families and friends converge at these natural spots to escape the scorching sun. Children splash and play, while adults wade into the cool waters, savoring a welcome break from the intense heat.

A resident of the area said that because of global warming, people move to streams and ponds for relief. "This year it's been very hot... Here it's been 33 recently; we got beaten up this year due to heat. Children and women can't come out due to the heat. I think there should be another summer vacation. Because of global warming, people move to streams and ponds for relief," he said, as reported by news agency ANI.
