Description:
Asha, a member of a Palanquin porters family in bridal make-up, she knows very well that riding palanquin is only a dream. 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 05, 2007.
