palanquin
Borne enclosed chair
A palanquin is an enclosed seat or litter carried on poles by bearers, used historically in South and East Asia for transporting passengers of rank.
The passenger sits or reclines inside while servants carry the conveyance on their shoulders: The maharaja arrived by palanquin.
The word evokes colonial-era travel and aristocratic luxury.
