Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures daily life at a riverside ghat in Calcutta, India. People in traditional Indian attire gather along stone steps, some bathing or collecting water, while others stand or sit near the river. A large umbrella provides shade on the ghat, and the warm, faded colors of the film highlight the sun-drenched scene. The footage shows natural, unposed activity with visible film grain and slight motion blur, offering an authentic glimpse into mid-century Indian culture and daily routines.
