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.

Different sections of Dobi Ghat specialize in specific items, such as jeans, sheets, etc. As you can see, they don’t use clothes pins. Instead, twisted ropes hold items in place.

I’m not sure how they keep track of all the laundry, but it must be quite a system!

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.Okumaya devam et
