Temporary lavatories are seen at the venue of World Culture Festival on the banks of the river Yamuna in New Delhi, India, March 8, 2016. Indian environmentalists are aghast at the hosting of a huge cultural festival on the floodplain of Delhi's main river that begins on Friday, warning that the event and its 3.5 million visitors will devastate the area's biodiversity.
