Dhobi GhatKnown as the 'world's largest laundromat', the Dhobi Ghat
provides a scene many travellers might have already seen in movies.
Every day, thousands of
collect dirty laundry and descend upon the concrete
washing areas, all fitted with their own flogging stones, to wash
the garments. To the dhobis themselves, the washing and drying of
clothes is a menial task - but to inquisitive tourists, this
practise can be a fascinating insight into India's daily life. Address: Prakash Pathe Marg |
