Life in Mumbai screeched to a halt as heavy rains of about 283mm left thousands of people stranded.
The amount of rain received in just that one day is reportedly normally received over a span of 10 days.
Civic authorities described the rainfall as "unprecedented," and many Mumbaikars felt the city wasn't prepared at all for the deluge.
Several people stood helplessly on the road as their vehicles stalled and brought things to a grinding halt.
The Meteorological Department has predicted that the situation is not expected to change, with heavy rainfall set to hit the city in the next 24 hours as well.
The Times of Indiareported that an official from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) disaster management unit, stated that a a five-year-old boy and a 60-year-old woman died of electrocution in Wadala.
Cetain parts of the city were worse off than others with vehicles being completely submerged.
Shop owners were basically stranded at the street shops as the water levels kept rising.
The high tide witnessed in the city was more than 3 metres high, and Mumbai is likely to witness 4 metres in the next few hours.
