Photograph of carved wooden temple chariot components stacked on the flatbed of a long green-and-red trailer truck in an open yard. Two large ornately carved wooden structures with tiered, pillared and latticed panels sit on the trailer, with a third carved piece behind them; a stack of worn tyres and a metal frame rest between them. A red truck with a painted tail stands to the left under a clear pale sky, with corrugated metal sheds behind. No people are visible.2016-04-16Photograph of carved wooden chariot or ratha components loaded on a flatbed truck with a green-painted frame and orange-striped side rails. Three tiered wooden structures with dense carved pillars and brackets are stacked on the bed, with round wooden wheels and tyres stacked between them. The largest piece on the right is wrapped in printed cardboard reading Shell Ply. Behind are a red truck and corrugated metal sheeting under a pale sky. No people are visible.2016-04-16A large dark carved stone temple chariot, its tiers covered in dense relief sculpture of figures and deities, stands on wooden wheels in a street. Thick rope is wound around the base and metal scaffolding surrounds it, with workers standing on the frame at the top. Two women walk beside the chariot, one in a green blouse and white sari with a braid, the other in a blue sari with a red border and a flower in her hair. A man in a green checked shirt walks past on the right, and a passing bus and parked car are visible in the background.2012-05-09 +1 copiesJune 01 20162016-06-01Close view of carved wooden temple architecture with dense relief sculpture. Multiple tiers of stacked wooden pillars and brackets frame figures of deities and attendants carved in relief, with a lion-like guardian figure and a pair of standing figures in the centre. Weathered brown wood with a tiled roof edge and a metal pipe at the left. No people are visible in the frame.2015-08-23April 16 20162016-04-16April 16 20162016-04-16A large carved wooden temple chariot (ratha) is being prepared under a corrugated metal shelter and scaffolding frame. Its stacked tiers are densely carved with figures and ornamental motifs, and two large red-painted wooden wheels with iron rims support the red axle frame. Ropes and a wooden beam hang from the structure. On the left, a white-and-red painted temple wall stands beside a tree. At right, two people in white shirts and dhotis stand near the chariot, and a man in a white shirt is partly visible on the top tier. Motorcycles and wooden planks lie on the ground.2012-07-23April 24 20192019-04-24A large, weathered stone temple tower. Its tiered, carved stonework shows many niches and tiers, and the hazy, overcast light softens its dark surface. A cream plastered building with arched colonnaded windows stands at right, and a white wall sits at lower right. Only partial heads and shoulders appear at the bottom edge of the frame, too little to count reliably. The scaffolding indicates restoration work on the temple structure.2009-08-11Photo 11702138A large wooden temple chariot with a thatched palm-leaf canopy stands on a patch of grass beside a whitewashed wall. Its carved wooden side panels show figures in relief, and its wheels are dark and iron-rimmed. A tall, ornate stone gopuram rises behind it at right. To the left a red car is parked, and at the right a man in a yellow shirt stands near a pile of green fruit while another man in a checked lungi walks past. Stones are set under the chariot's frame.2008-05-04
