Dhobi Ghat is the Hindi word for the laundry place. Dhobi are the launderers, Ghat means place going down to the water. Parit is the Sanskrit word for the Dhobi, the launderers.
Parit-India is also a Dhobi-Ghat having high international standards with professional Dhobis.
Higher technology is certainly available, but with the low cost of (human) labor, and the frequency of power shortages, India is marching into the 21st century still employing a whole caste to clean the laundry of this 950 million population by hand.
Many clothes in India are made of very thin cotton, because of the heat during the summer months. Such clothes (sarees, etc.) Dry very quickly in the hot Indian sun.
The dhobis have a very cryptic, virtually foolproof system of marking laundry to assure that it is returned to its owner. While buttons often go missing, due to the beating process, clothes are invariably returned to the correct person!
The police and missing person's bureau often rely on the dhobis to help them solve crimes! The dhobis can accurately identify a person by the clothing markings, which are inscrutable to outsiders.
