Vintage 1946 8mm home movie footage from Calcutta, India, capturing a Muslim community offering prayer in a slum area. Men in traditional kurta and pyjama, wearing white skull caps, kneel on praying mats facing Mecca during morning namaz. The scene shows devotion and faith in a modest setting with huts, cooking smoke, and quiet chanting. This authentic archival clip offers a rare glimpse into post-war Indian religious life and daily routines in a historic urban neighborhood.
