Note:A palanquin is a covered litter, usually for one passenger.  The word is derived from the Sanskrit palyanka, meaning bed or couch. It is carried by an even number of bearers (between two and eight, but most commonly four) by means of a pole projecting fore and aft. There were doors on both sides of the sedan. Known as Beharas, the bearers were of a special caste or class.
