Rickshaw painters are facing a very tough time due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Painting rickshaws have been a profession of a niche group of artists – a workmanship or genre that is totally unique to the Bengali culture. Rickshaw art has made many of our casual daily travel in grey roads colourful. Now it has become popular transcended to mainstream media as other artists incorporate this art form to pottery, t-shirts, plates, etc. However, it would be utter shame if Bangladesh were to lose the source or origin of Rickshaw art to the coronavirus pandemic
