Nestled among the lush green mountains of Pakistan's north, and with a river flowing serenely through its centre, Bishnoi was, until recently, a beautiful village.
But it had rained heavily on the morning of Friday, 15 August, and when the villagers woke early and went off to work they were unaware of how swiftly things were about to change.
According to locals, a sudden torrent of water came surging through Bishnoi, "bringing huge rocks with it and crushing buildings in its path, destroying the entire village".
When BBC Urdu visited in the aftermath, the area was dotted with large stones, concrete blocks and uprooted trees. Without heavy machinery, rescue workers and locals were busy clearing the debris using small tools.
"There is a house under every stone. People try to look under these rocks to see if they can find someone," local Israr Khan explained. "The houses are buried under the ground."
