Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a bustling riverside scene in Calcutta, India. People in traditional clothing gather on stone ghats and small boats under large umbrellas, enjoying a sunny day by the water. The footage shows individuals sitting, standing, and rowing, with a prominent brick building in the background. The grainy, slightly faded color and natural camera movement evoke a nostalgic, authentic slice of mid-century Indian life.
