A rickshaw ('illyokko') is usually light, two-wheeled hooded vehicle drawn by one or more persons. Here we have a one-wheeled rickshaw, occupied by a military officer in winter outfit. The rickshaw may look less luxurious, but is possibly more comfortable to sit on than the ordinary palanquin which is hollow inside.
