Laundrymen, a hereditary profession, have toiled with water for more than 150 years, working up to 16 hours a day. Majority of the laundrymen are men, day in and day out, year in and year out, they carry on the job for generations. On either side of the pools are the houses of laundrymen and they start working from 4 o’clock in the early morning, when the governments supply water.
