A Chakda or a Chhakda known as Jugad in North India
I actually wanted to take a still photograph but my camera was in movie mode. So I ended up capturing these few seconds of Chakda from our moving vehicle in Gujarat. Towards the end, I think the people on the Chakda were aware that we were taking pictures.
Good one… remember seeing phat -phati in Delhi a few years back ,it had a roof and only 4 could travel in that Matchless motorcycle mystique contraption. But this one beats that hollow with so many people packed in it. 🙂 Incredible India!!!
Nice to see this, been traveling on these for years now 🙂
Hehe…he was coaxing his passengers to pose
Chitra 😀 I agree incredulous India too!
Siddhartha I have yet to travel in one of these, though I am no stranger to the tempo.
Tarun yes after a few seconds he realized we were taking pictures! 😀
they are probably used to people clicking them by now! i actually miss seeing such scenes here 🙂
Yes Anu, probably they are used to getting attention from the tourists. 😀
waah kya sawari haai !
Mridula, thank you for sharing the small things that make up India. Like this Chakda…
I smiled with your attempt to take a photo while in movie mode… very familiar to any backpacker… click and the moments gone, then all you’ve got is a little silly clip :)…. anyway, very helpful since it’s up here. Thanks.
