Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures daily life along the Ganges River in Calcutta, India. The footage shows numerous people bathing and washing clothes on the stone ghats, with others sitting or standing along the riverbank. Traditional clothing and the historic architecture of the city are visible, with boats moored nearby. The warm, faded color palette and film grain give the clip an authentic archival quality, offering a nostalgic glimpse into mid-20th century Indian life.
