The event took place amid the active monsoon season in Bihar. According to reports, on a day of heavy rainfall, Sania Kumari was enjoying the rain on the roof of her neighbour Devnarayan Bhagat's house in Sirsia Bazar, Parihar. As she danced and sang, her friend recorded the moment on a mobile phone. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck nearby. Fortunately, it did not hit her directly, and she escaped unscathed.

The Indian Meteorological Department has forecasted continued rainfall for the district, predicting a daily range of five to twenty millimetres for the next four to five days.

This weather has been a boon for local farmers, who are pleased with the rains that will aid in paddy transplantation and revive other crops such as maize, moong, and sugarcane. The recent rains have already breathed new life into the drying paddy nurseries and vegetable crops, with fields beginning to flourish once again.
