Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures daily life along the riverbanks of Calcutta, India. People gather on stone ghats, bathing and socializing in the water, while a small boat docks nearby. The scene is filled with the warm, faded colors of a bygone era, showing traditional clothing and the bustling activity of a historic Indian city. The footage exhibits natural film grain and slight motion blur, offering an authentic glimpse into mid-century urban life on the Ganges.
