After visiting the stepwell, proceed further to visit The land of the "Dhobis" (traditional washer-men) comes alive every morning with the sound of clothes being beaten against concrete slabs. The Yamuna river is far, so the ghat relies on borewell water, chilamchis (cement tubs), hauds (tanks), naandis (pools) and hydras, electric machines that soak out water. In an age when washing machines have become part of households, why do people still give their clothes to dhobis? Actually most people clean their clothes in washing machines, but for major cleaning, they rely on Dhobis.
