Very cool. I would not mind photographing here.

How in the world do they keep track of all the clothes?

hi, im doing my architectural thesis on the dhobi-ghats in mahalaxmi in mumbai. its very sad to note their present day senario. if you do have any information or pictures please mail me at sangeetar20@yahoo.com . thanks

Have numerous photos, but being myself an architect, I am wondering how you (Sangeeta) are approaching it as an architectural thesis? Would share photos if you still need them.

cost effective,traditional wonder any modernization can be achieved without increase in the cost incurred. Any new approach adopted in the thesis by young architects????

Must be seen to be believed! Just got back from Incredible India!

Check out this Los Angeles Times article below on Dhobi Ghats. From the article and in response to an above question: "Because many dhobis are illiterate, they've developed a highly reliable system of indelible dots and dashes to ensure clothing is returned to its rightful owners." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-india-laundry-20100531,0,2496233.story
