One can note that trucks are owned by both Hindus and Muslims; this truck's salutation to Allah, "Ya Alla", shows Muslim ownership, as do Muslim names above the cabs of trucks (e.g., "Nizamol" or "Anzamol"). Note that some trucks have little eyes painted on the front (see "Sunrise" above) -- the apotropaic eye. "Sunrise", for good measure, also sports an apotropaic demon mask hanging below the front bumper. The depiction of elephant god Ganesh, in a following picture, suggests Hindu ownership.
