View along the Tolly Nullah canal off the Hooghly River. Covered boats of various sizes float along the banks of the canal, and people can be seen engaging in activities of daily life. Thatched-roof huts line the banks on both sides of the canal, and a suspension bridge crosses the water in the background.
