Description : Family members of a Palanquin porters group passing their idle time. Palanquins are still used 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 centuries-old culture of the soil, for sake of saving their lives in a miserable way. Mathbari, Kaira, Bangladesh.
