Description
View showing the Sabarmati River at Ahmedabad. Along the river banks people wash clothes and bathe. Large sheets of material are spread out on the opposite bank and further beyond stands a high flood wall behind which can be seen housing. Numerous people are fording the river, either on foot or by wagon, at the same point. The Sabarmati River is often prone to drying up completely and the water level looks reasonably low. ❧ This is one of a series of photographs contained in an album showing popular tourist attractions in India, the album was owned by an unknown Church of Scotland missionary who had probably taken the tour whilst working out in the region. Unfortunately there is very little information with the photographs as to there ownership or subject matter.
