A horse-drawn cart or carriage used in South Asia, especially India, for transporting passengers or goods over short distances.
From Hindi/Urdu 'bandi,' derived from Sanskrit 'bandh' (to bind or tie), referring to the vehicle's construction or its binding of goods together.
The humble bandi is still used in rural India today, carrying families and goods the same way it did centuries ago—a living fossil of everyday transportation!
