Shot on 8mm film in 1962, this vintage home movie captures a serene river scene in Calcutta, India. A long wooden boat glides across the water, carrying several passengers including a monk in a saffron robe and a person in a wide-brimmed sun hat. A young boy stands at the stern, using a paddle to steer. Traditional Thai-style buildings with tiered roofs line the riverbank under a bright sky. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, slight color fading, and a nostalgic, candid quality, offering a glimpse into daily life and river transport in mid-century India.
