Amateur film of a young woman surrounded by crowds on an Indian street. Colonel Hodgkinson does not identify who Althya is - it is possible that she is Althya Clark Youngman, an American concert singer, film maker and 'cultural leader', the founder of Artists Embassy International.

Althya surrounded by Indian boys and men. She poses for the camera with a little Indian girl wearing a decorative silver head piece and earrings. Close-up of the little girl's face. Althya talks to men and women in the crowded street. Two Indian women wearing long head-coverings look at some brightly coloured fabrics being sold by a man on the street. (Dal Lake, Srinagar? is visible in the background)
