Rickshaws are one of the most essential modes of transport in our daily lives. Once, the very mention of a pedal rickshaw would evoke vivid images of its backside, beautifully adorned with hand-painted movie posters, peacocks, water lilies, or elements of our native heritage and culture. However, with the passage of time, this art form has undergone both professional shifts and structural transformations. Today, driven by the vision of young entrepreneurs, rickshaw art has found its way into our everyday lives through items like apparel and home decor. This transition has not only given the craft a whole new dimension but is also playing a vital role in preserving our country's art and cultural heritage.
