Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures daily life along the Ganges River in Calcutta, India. Women in colorful sarees and headscarves wash clothes on stone steps while children play nearby. The scene shows people bathing in the water, with laundry hanging to dry on ledges. The footage has a warm, faded color palette and visible film grain, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-century Indian culture and riverbank routines.
