Nepal announced a day of mourning for the victims of the floods that occurred on August 26, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,300 people and left about five thousand missing, including foreigners. The mourning period lasts 13 days, during which close family members remain at home, and relatives visit them to offer condolences. On the final day, rituals are performed to pray for the souls of the deceased, and some families hold symbolic funerals and burn the bodies of the deceased to promote spiritual comfort. Search efforts for the missing are ongoing, with a significant focus on 12 hydroelectric projects, where around 900 workers are missing and another 500 are trapped in tunnels.
