Nepal is holding a day of mourning to remember people who died in the Aug. 26 floods with government offices lowering flags and family members concluding mourning rituals. Monday is the 13th day since the flooding that has killed more than 1,300 people in Nepal and Tibet and left some 5,000 missing. In Hindu-dominated Nepal, mourning periods last 13 days, in which close family members stay home and relatives visit to pay respect. On the final or 13th day, rituals are held to pray for the departed souls. Several people whose family members are still missing have performed symbolic funerals with mourning rituals. Search efforts were continuing for hundreds of people who are still unaccounted for.
