In the town of Puri, Indians gather on October 10 to pay tribute around a sand sculpture depicting trauma caused by the recent South Asian earthquake.

Soldiers searched on the previous day for isolated Indian Kashmiri villages believed buried under landslides triggered by the quake, but rescue efforts have been hindered by sporadic militant attacks, officials said. The death toll in India from the October 8 temblor has risen to nearly 750, but authorities say they have yet to account for all villages in the worst-hit districts.
