Home laundry in Bombay (10 photos) Bashny.Net

Today I spent the whole day will be "Landry". Ie a man-a laundress. Wash kilograms marching things.



For the first time with representatives of this very male profession I encountered in India.



Home
laundry 17 million in Bombay called Dhobi Ghat and is
a huge block in quite beggarly area.



Most Landry in Bombay - a "guest workers" from the neighboring Indian states.



For the fact that I had washed 7 things (T-shirts, pants, etc.) I paid 300 rupees (about 230 rubles).



Each "washerwoman" a strictly enclosed grounds.



In these concrete tubs underwear soaked and washed on a conventional soap.



Washing powder Indian Landry did not enjoy.



Wash them well: take a dirty, wet clothes, and have just 30-40, Insanely, they beat on the stones. Knock-type dirt.



And then naturally dried.



At the same time Dhobi Ghat are several hundred Landry. For a couple of hours each of the men over 50 washes dirty things.
