The bus, filled with about 80 people returning from a wedding party, had stopped at the unmanned crossing after its axle broke and then was hit by the speeding train, local administrator Selva Kumar said.
At least 39 others were injured when the train dragged the mangled bus more than 1,600 feet (500 metres) before stopping, local administrator Selva Kumar said.
The bus, filled with about 80 people, had stopped at the unmanned crossing after its axle broke and then was hit by the speeding train, she said.
The bride and the groom were travelling in a separate vehicle and were not among the victims, Kumar said. No passengers on the train were hurt.
Two men sitting on top of the bus escaped when they jumped off seconds before the train crashed into the vehicle, said Shobharan Singh, a government official at the site.
