Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures people bathing in the river at a large public ghat in Calcutta, India. Men and boys in traditional dhotis and simple clothing wade in the water, some standing on the stone steps while others bathe. A man in a white shirt observes from the edge, and a small boat is visible nearby. The footage shows natural sunlight, authentic film grain, and a candid, documentary-style perspective of daily life and ritual bathing along the riverbank.
