US e-commerce company sells charpai for over ₹1 lakh

Every now and then, we come across instances where everyday items are being sold at exorbitant prices. For example, on Amazon, there was a plastic bucket listed for ₹25,999, and that too, after a 28 percent discount. Similarly, we’ve seen a tablecloth priced at ₹31,000 on Sona Home by Priyanka Chopra. Now, another item that is not spared from extravagant pricing is the charpai. The humble charpai is up for sale on an e-commerce platform for over ₹1 lakh.

Etsy, an e-commerce company based in America, has listed charpai as a “Traditional Indian bed with very beautiful decor.” According to the product description, this item is handmade and dispatched by a small business in India. The description also provides details about the size of the charpai and the materials used in its crafting.

Take a look at the screenshot from the website right here:
