Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a bustling riverside ghat in Calcutta, India. People gather along the water's edge, washing clothes and seeking shade under large umbrellas. Traditional stone temples and colonial-style buildings line the bank, with steps leading down to the river. The footage shows daily life in mid-century India, with individuals in period clothing engaged in routine activities. The warm, slightly faded color palette and visible film grain enhance its nostalgic, archival quality.
