Indian beds

It is a common sight to see people lounging or stretched out napping on these woven based beds, which are placed outside under a tree, verandah or awning. The weaving is artistic and the bed can easily be stood on its end to get it out of the way when more floor space is needed.

 

The upended bed is on the right. It has a brightly coloured woven base. Note the stitched fabric ceiling covering of this round hut with thatched roof.
