India GODhobi Ghat & Lower Parel
The Laundry & the Lofts
The world's largest open-air laundry with its viewing point, and former mills nearby reborn as lofts of restaurants and bars.
Two centuries in one frame: from the bridge by Mahalaxmi station you see Dhobi Ghat, the giant open-air laundry still working as it did a hundred years ago, and a kilometre away, glass towers and old textile mills reborn as restaurants and offices. Transformer Mumbai: industrial past and startup present wall to wall.
