Established in 1890, it is reputed to be the world's largest outdoor laundry and provides an up-close look at the traditional methods of washing clothes in India. This open-air laundromat is manned by dhobis (washermen and women) who work in rows of open-air concrete wash pens, each fitted with its own flogging stone. The process is meticulous and labor-intensive, where hundreds of dhobis collect dirty laundry from across the city, wash it by hand, and then dry it on endless rows of open clotheslines. Once dried, the clothes are ironed and returned to their owners. Dhobi Ghat not only offers a unique glimpse into the hard-working life of Mumbai's dhobi community but also represents a colorful and essential part of the city's fabric. This place has also attracted global attention and has been featured in numerous documentaries and films, showcasing its cultural significance and operational scale.
