roulotte
It looks like a "roulotte" (the vehicle used by the bohemians/gipsies).
I think it's appropriate to use the term "roulotte" because of the Indian context (bohemians and gypsies are said to have come from India, through Eastern Europe ans Spain).
Below are:
- a link to images of the box cart
- a link to translation into a dialect that looks like old Frencf.

une carriole couverte
It looks like an individual vehicle on an ox-cart chassis, but with the "comfort of a saloon-car". A roulotte is much bigger (used by gypsies for instance)
