Shot on 8mm film in 1946, this archival footage captures two Muslim men praying on the deck of a boat in Calcutta, India. Dressed in traditional white clothing and caps, one man kneels on a prayer mat while the other stands nearby, both facing Mecca in devotion. The deck is cluttered with ropes, cargo, and equipment, suggesting a working vessel. The film exhibits natural grain and color fading typical of vintage home movies, offering a rare glimpse into daily religious practice and maritime life in mid-20th century India.
