These pictures were taken in March, 2009. It's Kharapani, where people used to enjoy the natural hot spring, or go for a picnic on holidays. It is supposed that the most of the casualties were the people enjoying their time in this place, or the inhabitants near by.
The pictures down below (after the disaster) are from different sources, i tried to find out the snaps from the same place( before & after), but couldn't distinguish as the damage has been really severe.
Feel sorry for those affected and who have lost their lives in this natural disaster.
