Dhobi Ghat is where chaos, color, activity and sounds mix together in a freakish blend. An anti-thesis to the sophisticated and manicured lawns of Mahalaxmi Racecourse only a few hundred yards away, Dhobi Ghat is the fascinating place where Mumbai's laundry gets done. Clothes are hand washed by hundreds of Dhobis (laundry men and women) on concrete sinks and hung on clotheslines. Beware of the lurking touts, who'll insist there's a 'government levied entry fee' for visitors (ie.foreigners). Secure a vantage point on Mahalaxmi Bridge instead. With the busy local trains passing by, passengers hanging out and colorful laundry being dried in the sparkling sun, photographic opportunities are numerous.
