Bandy (carriage)

Transport company

A bandy (or bandi) is a carriage or cart used in India and Sri Lanka, especially one drawn by bullocks. A driver of a bandy is a bandyman. It is derived from the Tamil/Malayalam word vandy meaning cart.[1]

In May 1809 HMS Fox brought into Madras her prize, Caravan, which was carrying "...carriages and bandis."[2]
