STORYLINE:
The Indian city of Mumbai, the capital of the state of Maharashtra, is a major draw for tourists.
One of the attractions is the city's open-air laundries, locally known as "dhobi ghat."
A distinctive feature of Mumbai, these laundries provide employment to thousands of washermen, called "dhobis" in the local language.
Dhobi Ghat, a famous open-air laundry place in Mumbai's southern area, was built in 1890. Clothes from hotels, hospitals and other places are being washed here.
