People gather under the blazing afternoon sun at Shivaji Park to celebrate 135th birth anniversary of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar as temperatures hover between 31 degree C and 33 degree C in Mumbai
With the heat feeling closer to 34 degree C due to humidity levels above 50 per cent, many visitors cover themselves with cloth or use umbrellas to protect against the harsh sun
Some turn to simple relief measures, enjoying ice creams as they try to beat the scorching weather during the busy afternoon hours
Civic authorities step in to help, with the BMC installing fans at Shivaji Park to provide some comfort to visitors waiting in long queues
The weather remains dry and stable, with no rainfall expected and only light winds offering minimal relief from the heat with a stable AQI of 94.
Despite the heat, large crowds continue to arrive at Chaitya Bhoomi, showing resilience and devotion
