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 sighs what an irony like mayna das it is a treasured hope of many girls of our traditional bangali society to be brought home of her beloved husband by a palanquin after marriage but those days are gone in modern society with the advancement of technology palanquins have become a thing of the past these days brides go to their husbands riding on cars however the tradition is not dead yet 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 tradition of the soil for the sake of living their lives in a miserable way there was a happy time for the porters when their earnings were good enough to live up but poverty lack of respect to these untouchables illness and uncertainty are trying to eradicate the porters along with the tradition as the porters are not in a sound socio economic position the mode of their profession is changed they used to serve as cobblers to earn some extra money but the life is getting so critical that they are compelled to adopt other professions moreover they serve an additional role of entertainers in wedding ceremonies asha in bridal make up she knows very well that riding palanquin is only a dream jugal is getting water therapy in his house he gets high fever when he was in bride s house during work 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 sighs palanquins are still used carrying brides in remote bangladesh all through their life palanquin porters carried others brides except their own
