[2025 Mumbai Attraction] Travel Guide for Dhobi Ghat (Updated Jul)

The Thousand People Laundry in Mumbai was a municipal construction in Mumbai more than 100 years ago. Today, when washing machines have become popular, Indians still maintain the tradition of manual laundry, and the scene of thousands of people doing laundry at the same time has become a spectacle in Mumbai. Here, you can experience the real living conditions of the poor in India with your own eyes. From Mahalaxmi Railway Station, you can see more than 800 laundry pools and countless laundry workers. The sound of washing water and the beating of sticks is one after another, and colorful clothes and white sheets are covered. The whole area is impressive. Most of the laundry workers are humble Shudras who have been working as laundry workers for generations. The protagonist in the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" grew up here. After seeing this, and then looking at the adjacent high-rise buildings from a distance, there will be a strong contrast.
