The photograph of Mother Durga - a Goddess, is on the cart on the left, and the picture of Sai Baba is on the right. This cart belongs to a nomadic family that is relaxing in the background in Kalina, a suburb of Mumbai. This family will go around accepting alms in the name of God/Goddess and park their cart wherever they find space and something to graze for their bulls.
