The sight of idols of gods and goddesses is a common thing in India inside vehicles. Also commonly found is a bunch of lemon and 7 green chilies hung some where on the vehicle. This superstitious practice is apparently to ward off evil spirits and jealousy.

Seen below is an idol of Lord Ganesh, widely worshiped in Maharashtra. Ganesha is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences and the deva of intellect and wisdom.

The rich and the poor: 

Seen here is Dhobi Ghat, which is an open air laundromat in Mumbai, India. The washers, locally known as Dhobis, work in the open to wash clothes mostly from Mumbai's hotels and hospitals.
