Description : Family members of a Palanquin porters group passing their idle time. 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.
