Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage footage captures people in traditional robes bathing and gathering on stone steps at a riverside ghat in Calcutta, India. The scene unfolds under bright daylight, with individuals in white and red garments moving along the waterfront. The camera pans across the historic stone structures and the river, capturing the daily life and cultural rituals of the city. The film exhibits natural grain, slight color fading, and the authentic look of a home movie from the early 1960s.
