Tomes & Talismans

All the cars, tuk tuks (auto rickshaws) and buses have charms on them to ward off evil eyes and evil spirits.


You can see the Hindu gods above the steering wheel. This particular driver definitely needed them because he stopped on the side of a busy street for a smoke break (bringing us gum on the way back). 

Another tuk tuk walla drove the wrong way down a one-way street for awhile. On purpose. He got us where we were going.


Green chilies and lemon? It sounds like a flavor for potato chips. 


Not sure what the license plate is about. 


And this is inside our bus! There are 2 shrines and a peacock feather.
