Machan - A makeshift platform.
Tree houses, Boat houses , and the Machan. There is one similar in all these. They all are unique and a different look than a normal house and all of them are temporary.
A Tree House is one which is built upon the Tree. A Boat House is one which is built on water and a Machan??
Well a Machan is a temporary makeshift stage built upon wooden planks.
This one is beside my home, and now recently been cemented. Earlier it uses to be upon wooden stand at four corner, however to make it more stronger, we have cemented it with 6 Pillars. Surprise to know that the base on top is still made up of Wooden planks.
Generally, the Machan is use to keep the Paddy straws or call it Hays. To protect them from straying cows and goats. Keeping them above the head height allows it to be very safe. Whenever we need to pull the Hays, we uses the Wooden ladder along it.
This Machan is another thing which occupy a special place of my childhood. I remember playing on top of it for long. Especially in Summer we use to sleep on top of it during night. Sleeping at night have own enjoyment. Also.it is safe too as no one gonna bother you much. Just sat on top and keep your fun going.
Stay Calm....

The village traditions are lost now, even in the villages you hardly see this old type lifestyle, it is interesting sometimes to connect with the roots.
Ahh well I can find every bit of it very easily and quite enjoying them...either people out here are still outdated or they do not want to change😉.....just I am sticking to root..
