One of the last load of people to Orchha for the day. Tractor-trolley is popular means of transportation in the villages of northern parts of India. Tractors are multi-utility vehicles for the villagers, which are used for farm use as well as a way to transport people. Infact, on the day i was here there was a marriage in the town, and i noted that many in the grooms party had come in tractor-trolleys from nearby villages.
