Omkareshwar in September
Madhya Pradesh, India
Narmada stays swollen from monsoon, limiting temple access and riverside walks
September pulls the monsoon back from Omkareshwar and leaves the Narmada still muscular, still impressive, but no longer murderous. The island temple re-emerges.
The September story
Late September is the transition. Boat rides may resume. The river is calming but still commands respect.
