EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from the late 19th century, transports us back in time to the bustling River Bathing Ghat in Haridwar, India. The image, captured through the lens of an early photographic process such as albumen or collodion, showcases the grandeur and cultural significance of this ancient city located in the northern part of the country. The ghat, a series of steps leading down to the sacred River Ganges, is teeming with activity. Men and women, dressed in ethnic attire, are seen engaged in various occupations. Some are washing clothes, while others are busy trading goods or plying their skills as artisans. The hustle and bustle of commerce and daily life are interspersed with moments of devotion and relaxation, as people take a dip in the holy waters. The architectural backdrop of the photograph is equally intriguing, with the old buildings and structures adding to the charm of the scene. The urban landscape, a blend of the traditional and the modern, is a testament to the rich history and diverse culture of Haridwar. The photograph, taken during the 1860s to the 1890s, offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of this vibrant town. The image, with its timeless appeal, continues to resonate with us, inviting us to explore the stories and traditions that unfolded on the banks of the River Ganges in Haridwar.
