1962: People congregate along the bustling banks of the Hooghly River in Calcutta, India, where rowboats and sailboats navigate the waterway beneath arched bridges. Crowded steps lead down to the riverfront market, where vendors trade under colorful parasols and signs flutter in the warm, sunny air. The scene captures daily life in a vibrant, historic Indian city, with colonial-era buildings and busy commercial activity.
