Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage footage captures daily life along the Ganges River in Calcutta, India. People gather on stone ghats, bathing, washing clothes, and sitting in the sun. Men and women in traditional attire, including dhotis and sarees, engage in ritualistic and domestic activities. A large white umbrella provides shade on the steps, while others stand or sit near the water's edge. The film shows natural movement and authentic moments, with visible grain and color fading characteristic of Super 8 home movies from the era. This archival clip offers a candid glimpse into 1960s Indian river culture and daily routines.
