Dhobi Ghat

Dhobi Ghat or Dhoby Ghaut is a word used in various parts of South Asia. It means a place where the traditional "dhobi" caste of washermen and women go to wash clothes. The word usually means a place near a river or stream, in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, but a "Dhobi Ghat" doesn't necessarily have to be near a source of natural water. 
The world's largest "Dhobi Ghat" is said to be in Mumbai, India. It figured in the famous "Dhobi Ghat" (2010).
