For the second day today, Muslim pilgrims ritually stoned pillars representing the devil in Mina, not far from the city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
The last days of the Hajj coincide with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
The third stoning is on Tuesday, before the farewell "tawaf" - circling the Kaaba (Caaba) - the black stone cube in Mecca.
According to Saudi officials, more than 1,83 million Muslims perform the annual Hajj, up from 1,84 million last year.
The rites took place in extreme heat, up to 49 degrees Celsius, the Saudi Metrological Service announced. More than 2.760 pilgrims suffered sunstroke on Sunday alone, the Ministry of Health announced. Jordan announced on Sunday that 14 Jordanian pilgrims had died of heatstroke.
The Hajj is one of the largest religious gatherings in the world and is one of the five pillars of Islam. All Muslims are required to perform the five-day Hajj at least once in their lifetime if they are physically and financially able to do so.
When the Hajj is over, men are expected to shave their heads as a sign of renewal, and women are expected to cut a lock of their hair.
After the pilgrimage to Mecca, most go to Medina, 340 kilometers away, to pray at the Prophet Muhammad's tomb.
That tomb in the Prophet's Mosque is one of the three holiest sites in Islam, along with the Great Mosque in Mecca and the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
