Transport in India - Traditional means - Palanquin


Palanquins or "palkee" was one of the luxurious methods used by the rich and nobles for travelling purposes. This was primarily used in the olden days to carry the deity or idol of the god (many temples have sculptures of god being carried in a palki) later on during 15th century we have references that the nobles were also using it for transportation. Girls and ladies from rich families were ferried in palkee and were escorted by males riding on horses.

The word "Palkee" came from the word 'Palanki'. The Portuguese called it "Palan Queem" and the Britishers "Palan Queen". In Sanskrit it is called as "palkee". During the fifteenth century (during the rein of Mughal period) many Muslim families used it. Gradually many landlords and people with royalty also started using it. Modern use of palanquins is limited to being an ostentatious method for the bride to make her entrance at some indian weddings.
