- Title: Palanquin_Bangladesh
- Description: You are the first one ever who asked me to sit on a palki (palanquin) though I am a wife of a palki porter. I have been living with palanquins for 16 years. Today a long cherished dream of mine is fulfilled, Mayna Das, wife of a palanquin porter, sighs. Palanquins are still used for carrying brides in remote Bangladesh. In Mathbari, a far-off village in Sundarbans, some people still cling to palanquins. The palanquin-porters are saving a heritage, a century-old culture of the soil, for the sake of saving their lives in a miserable way. Mathbari, Kaira, Bangladesh. May 04, 2007.
