Some 80 people are still missing after Thursday's downpour in Indian Kashmir, including Hindu pilgrims who were visiting a shrine when the water levels suddenly rose.
The rainstorm flooded the village of Chositi, which is a common stop along a pilgrimage route in the area. The water masses carried with them mud, debris and large boulders that rolled down the mountain slopes.
A survivor describes how he heard a "big bang" when a wall of water reached the village.
We thought it was an earthquake, he says to Press Trust of India.
So far, around 60 people have been confirmed dead. Another 50 seriously injured are being treated in hospital.
This is the second major deadly flood to hit India in just over a week. Last Tuesday, the village of Dharali in the state of Uttarakhand was buried in mud after heavy downpours, with around 70 dead as a result.
In neighboring Pakistan, rainy weather has also claimed lives in the last 24 hours. Some 50 people have been killed in different parts of the country, including in the Pakistani-held part of Kashmir, according to local authorities.
Floods and landslides often affect India and Pakistan during the monsoon season, which usually lasts between June and September. Climate change is believed to worsen the frequency, severity and impact of downpours.
