Shot on 8mm film in 1946, this vintage home movie captures a group of people rowing a traditional wooden boat with multiple oars on a muddy river in Bombay, India. The footage shows a long, dark boat with several men standing and rowing in unison, while other boats are moored along the grassy riverbank. The scene has a grainy, nostalgic quality with muted colors and visible film scratches, characteristic of mid-century amateur footage. The camera remains steady, offering a clear view of the river activity and the surrounding landscape.
