Pune: Two years ago, few people had heard of Malin, a tiny village at the foot of a hill in Pune district’s Ambegaon Taluka. On July 30, 2014, heavy rain sent the loose soil of the hill cascading on to the still sleeping village, almost flattening it and leaving 151 people dead. It sadly also put Malin on the map. Today, this village situated 140km from Pune and close to the Dimbhe dam, has become a tourist attraction. People visiting the Bhimashankar temple 30km away, make sure to stop by the village for macabre selfies — with the survivors, especially with the now 2-year-old Rudra, who as an infant was found in the debris after two days.

The hand pump that survived the landslide has become a relic today; Makeshift tin sheds have replaced the houses that were destroyed that day; Work under way for a monument for all 151 people who died in the landslide
