Somewhere in the tangled mess of winding streets that make up India’s largest metropolitan city is a place known as the Mahalaxmi Dhobi Ghat, the largest unmechanized laundry facility and washerman colony in the world. I went there to obtain a true essence of what people call, The Mumbaikar Dhobis.
In the traditional Indian culture, a Dhobi is a laundryman who collects dirty linens from homes and returns them washed and neatly pressed from open-air Laundromats known as Ghats, a subset of the Indian service industry that traces its roots back hundreds of years.
Dhobi ghat has its own story with a beguiling atmosphere and livelihood spanning generations. To delve deeper into this world, the work has been documented in three different cities in India (Mumbai, Ahmedabad & Calicut).
Dhobi Ghat has been home to many people. They have worked and lived there, for ages, generations after generations, passing on the tradition. The dwindling livelihood forces one to think if the legacy is washed and faded while being beaten by the tactics of the modern world.
