In June of 2008, I went to India for business. I was there for 3 weeks, and took some time to go sightseeing. While most of the places I wanted to photograph didn't allow it (active temples, etc.) I did get some photos, mostly of sights in and around Mysore, which is a couple of hours drive from Bangalore.
Trucks often had paintings of demons or something on them. This is not a good example, some where incredible. I enjoyed them. I found them whimsical and amusing.
Also on the right tail light is a sign that said "Stop Signal". This is to indicate that these lights actually would indicate the truck was stopping. Other helpful notices painted on trucks, buses, and even some cars where: "AC bus, no hand signals", "power brakes", "sound horn". This last would sometimes be combined with "OK", or replaced by it entirely. It meant that if you sounded your horn, the driver would move over to make room for you to pass. So imagine that nobody is driving between the lane markings, and are all trying to get by each other, and you might understand when I say that horns were going on around you every 3 or 4 seconds.
