Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures daily life along the Ganges River in Calcutta, India. People in traditional clothing wash clothes and bathe at the river's edge, with others standing on stone ghats. The footage shows a bustling riverside scene with laundry spread across the bank and individuals engaged in ritual washing. The warm, faded colors and visible film grain give the clip a nostalgic, archival quality, offering a glimpse into mid-century Indian life and religious practices.
