CALCUTTA INDIA-1962: People stand in the river, washing clothes by hand on a sun-drenched ghat. Men and women in traditional white garments bend over the water, scrubbing fabric against stones. The scene unfolds beside ancient stone buildings with steps leading down to the riverbank, under bright sunlight that reflects off the water. Shot on 8mm film, the footage shows natural grain and warm, faded colors, capturing a candid moment of daily life in mid-century India.
