A charpai is a traditional woven bed from South Asia that's also known as a charpoy, charpaya, khatiya, khatt, or manji. The name comes from the words char, meaning "four", and pay, meaning "footed". The charpai is made with four wooden legs and a frame that's held together by an interlocking pattern of rope and colorful threads.  The charpai is an integral part of Indian homes and has been used for around 5,000 years. It's versatile and can be used for sleeping, as a daybed, or for other activities like household chores. The charpai's design allows for good airflow, which can help keep the body relaxed and cool the environment. The firm, interlocking rope surface can also be beneficial for people with back pain by helping to maintain proper spinal alignment.  They can be decorated with brightly colored cushions or sequined bed covers. Charpais are also often covered with colorful, handmade bed sheets and are sometimes given as wedding gifts or used during social gatherings
