Dhobi Ghats: outdoor laundry

A huge municipal laundry where only men do the work, as opposed to everywhere else in India, where it is women beating clothes against rocks. I asked the guide about this distinction, and he said, somewhat shocked, that women could only wash the clothes of the family, and men could only wash clothes commercially.


other sizes: small medium original auto
