A few different modes of transportation in India

India – 2010. I was fascinated by the many and various forms of (unusual) transportation, both for moving people and goods. These photos are from Pondicherry where I saw a Vintage Car Rally, Monayampettai which is a small rural village and Mahabalipuram which is a sea side resort area.
There was Vintage Car Rally on Sunday February 7th and I was amazed at the cars that were in Pondicherry – Would you believe a 1960’s mustang?
