RICKSHA.

      

RICKSHA:-

The ricksha - Has big history in Bangladesh and more others country too . like japan , Indonesia , china ,Myanmar more and more country . whenever i saw  international cricket tournament in Dhaka - i saw all international celebrities are seriously interested for journey by riksha . i saw  from American ambassador to any foreign representative for NGO for government guest are mad about rickshaw journey it's really  a natural journey &also uncommon something . where- you can sit on chair like  and  you keep your leg down  get open air, you can watch  everything on front of eyes, fresh air , at last i will say - low cost too.

 Rickshaw began as a two or three-wheeled passenger cart, called a rickshaw, generally pulled by one man with one passenger or two. 

The first known use of the term was in 1887. Over time, cycle rickshaws (also known as pedicabs), auto rickshaws, and electric rickshaws and were invented.

but our ricksha is separate then other countries.  it's really a "Bangla style" absolutely manual . hopefully every one can enjoy great .

 Pulled rickshaws created a popular form of transportation, and a source of employment for male laborers, within Asian cities in the 19th century. Their appearance was related to newly acquired knowledge of ball-bearing systems. Their popularity declined as cars, trains and other forms of transportation became widely available.  IN THIS WAY I DON'T SUPPORT TOTALLY MOTOR RICKSHA FOR BANGLADESH. DUE TO ACCIDENT . cause here too much people.

Rickshaws are becoming more popular in some cities in the 21st century as an alternative to taxis because of their low cost.
The vehicle had a wooden carriage that rode on "superior Western wheels" and was a dramatic improvement over earlier modes of transportation. Whereas the earlier sedan chairs required two people, the rickshaw generally only required one. More than one person was required for hilly or mountainous areas. It also provided a smoother ride for the passenger. Other forms of vehicles at the time were drawn by animals or were wheelbarrows.

The Powerhouse Museum has had a rickshaw in its collection for 120 years. It was made about 1880 and is described as:

    A rickshaw, is a light, two-wheeled cart consisting of a door less, chair like body, mounted on springs with a collapsible hood and two shafts. Finished in black lacquer-ware over timber, it was drawn by a single rickshaw run
Hand-pulled rickshaws became an embarrassment to modernizing urban elites in the Third World, and were widely banned, in part because they were symbolic, not of modernity, but of a feudal world of openly marked class distinctions. Perhaps the seated rickshaw passenger is too close to the back of the laboring driver, who, besides, is metaphorically a drought animal harnessed between shafts.

The colorful patterns and designs that are embroidered resulted in the name "Nakshi Katha", which was derived from the Bengali word "naksha" or nakshi katha , which refers to artistic patterns. The early kathas had a white background accented with red, blue and black embroidery; later yellow, green, pink and other colors were also included. The running stitch called "katha stitch" is the main stitch used for the purpose. Traditionally, kantha was produced for the use of the family.
