Macha is a place where people sitting or traditional seating place called MACHA(মাচা). Every village in the local area seen ‘macha’ almost every house under tree. But no-a-days it’s seen rare. It’s an important & interesting place for young or aged person for take rest, time pass or gossiping with one another. After hard working people take rest here, young people play Ludu or Card even sometimes someone sleeping in the macha.
Seeing the Macha:The road side, pond edge, last end of courtyard, field even bank of river seen macha. As it made under a big tree or under branch of tree, this place keeps cold & fresh air get easily here. Local area it is traditional for village people.
Equipment:
The traditional seating place/macha is made by bamboo, wood, small tree or betel nut tree. But many of macha made by bamboo. There is different size small, medium or large macha is made so that many people sit together.

The machan looks interesting place @MonirHB but is that the primary purpose of constructing it?
We have such Machans out here in India though they are used as a watch tower to keep an eye on the crops and the birds.
They are used as a gossiping place only when there is extra relax time.
@Tushar_Suradkar Thank you for your nice comments.
In Bangladesh, village people normally used to macha for seat, chat & take rest. I also see the macha at watch tower, hills area for controlling illegal work but don't know before about 'keep an eye on the crops and the birds'.
Correct - I mean the same thing @MonirHB. 👍
As a watch tower to keep an eye on illegal activity.
Here's a photo of a Machan in the area where I live:
Only one or maximum 2 people will climb this.
It is quite fragile and temporary.
This is used to scare away birds who come to eat the grains from the fields.

This type machan/macha exist in Bangladesh but I've never seen it.
