Overview
Established in 1890, Dhobi Ghat is the world's largest open-air laundry, where about 7,000 washers (dhobis) hand-wash clothes from across Mumbai every day. From a bridge near Mahalakshmi Station, you can see the striking scene of hundreds of concrete wash troughs and colorful clothes drying in rows. Symbolizing Mumbai's working-class economy and industrious culture, it is also a popular spot for photographers. Free viewing (from the bridge). 5-minute walk from Mahalakshmi Station (Metro Line 1).
Travel Tips
The pedestrian overpass near Mahalakshmi Station gives the best panoramic view. Visit in the morning to see the washers at their busiest.
