The New Delhi Television channel said the truck, crowded with devotees, also caught fire by the electric spark.
Another three people suffered burn injuries and were hospitalized in Thanjavur, a city in Tamil Nadu state, a police officer said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to reporters. The deaths occurred early Wednesday when the temple chariot procession was underway in Thanjavur district, 340 kilometers south of Chennai, the state capital, police said. The procession was organized by a local Hindu temple. Other details were not immediately available.
Thanjavur is an important center of South Indian religion, art, and architecture. The area is known for its heritage temples.
