 Aeroplanes are very popular. These ones are near Mansoorwal and Khandoor.




As are other modes of transport -Buses, Cars. I'd love to find a motor bike or a train engine.

 





Car with steering wheel, pipes and number plate, without headlights!


There are also many Pehlwans (wrestlers). This one wearing the India vest is a favourite! 

 

Guru Gobind Singhji, the 10th guru of the Sikhs was always accompanied by his eagle and his horse, the eagle perched on one hand and the horses' reins in the other.  




I found an interesting article about these tanks on The Sikh Foundation website

Sunday, 6 February 2011


Spotted these fantastically kitsch 'water tanks' on the roof of a dhaba (restaurant on the highway) between Ludhiana and Jalandhar in the summer of 2010. I loved them so much, I went back one morning at 6am to Phagwara to find some more. There was a dust storm that morning, which made it fairly difficult to photograph them but here they are. This will be an ongoing series and I hope to find all the footballs, eagles and Eiffel Towers in Ludhiana (to begin with).

(I especially like the Pehlwan with the tavees on his arm)


This is the first Air India plane I spotted (many others followed). Ironically, it was the day after the Air India Express plane from Dubai to Mangalore overshot the runway and crashed, resulting in 159 deaths.

This one also has the AI logo on it's tail. 

Watch this space for more interesting water tanks from Ludhiana!
