A rickshaw wallah was napping on the seat of his own rickshaw. It must be a brief rest. Rickshaw wallahs who take a break often sleep in the passenger seat of their vehicle. As one would expect, few are resting while straddling the saddle. Being astride the saddle is a sign that they are ready to go. It represents a situation where they are ready to go for a ride now, should a guest arrive.
In other words, the figure sleeping with its hands on the window sill in full view of the rear window means that the store is closed even if you are riding a cycle rickshaw. When he wakes up, he has to start pedaling vigorously again. This kind of rest is necessary, and we see people resting here and there.
