Dobi Ghat

In the shadow of Mumbai’s towering skyscrapers lies Dobi Ghat, an old fashioned laundry that cleans clothes in water from the Arabian Sea.

The people who work there, live there, as well. Some of the women and children of Dobi Ghat sell items to tourists who come to the viewpoint that overlooks their busy neighborhood.En savoir plus
