This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of a bathing ghat on the Hooghly River, which is part of the sacred Ganges River. Located below the iconic Howrah Bridge in Kolkata (Calcutta), West Bengal, India, this scene showcases the rich cultural heritage and architectural beauty of this bustling city. In this image, we see a large group of men enjoying their daily ritual bath in the river's holy waters. The colorful attire worn by these individuals adds to the visual spectacle, creating a stunning contrast against the serene blue water. The magnificent Howrah Bridge stands tall in the background, serving as both a symbol of modernity and an integral part of Kolkata's skyline. The photograph perfectly encapsulates everyday life along this historic riverbank. It offers us a glimpse into local lifestyles and traditions that have been passed down through generations. As we observe these real people engaging in their religious practices amidst such picturesque surroundings, it becomes evident why Kolkata is considered one of India's most significant tourist destinations. Tony Waltham/Robert Harding has skillfully captured not only the physical elements but also the essence and spirit of this extraordinary place through his photography. This print serves as a reminder that there are countless wonders waiting to be explored across Asia's diverse landscapes - each with its own unique stories to tell.
