The massive cart that takes a lot of manpower for moving belongs to a temple in Myiladuthurai Tamilandu. The deity is taken out in this car in ceremonial procession on special occasions around the temple neighbourhood. It takes scores of devotee to get this thing moving. Hundreds who escort the deity in procession take turns to pull the temple car.My post for Alphabe-Thursday.
I love this picture. I find this so interesting.

ReplyDeleteI wonder how much that rope weighs. Wow.
It reminds me of our trip to Morocco a few years ago and the fancy chairs they rent out for weddings.
Fascinating post! Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating stop on our little journey through Alphabe-Thursday's letter "T".
ReplyDeleteI saw a show about this on Discovery and it was really fascinating.
It's neat to see the temple car out of the context of TV and in a 'real' photo.
Absolutely intriquing.
