Holiness is still common in India. In most Hindu households, shops and businesses are altars and shrines, and the day is routinely started with the worship of gods and gurus. Many mountains, rivers, stones and trees are sacred. Dozens of Indian cities are holy and, of course, the millions of temples and idols. Quite a few animals are holy — the cow, of course, but also the bull, the monkey, the elephant, the peacock, the snake, the rat…. So it may come as no surprise that people can be holy too, though they have to become holy.

Maha Kumbh mela in Haridwar, India.

Weighing in at less than 1,400 pounds and just over 10 feet long, the Nano has a 2-cylinder engine and a maximum speed of 65 mph. It only has a 3.96 gal (15 liters) fuel tank and a 2 cylinder, 624 cc (0.624 liter) engine and gets 60 mpg (25.4 km/liter)

‘Over the past few months, the Nano’s popularity in India has waned considerably. Concerns over safety became acute last year, as Indian newspapers began reporting freak incidents of Nanos catching fire. Even as the Nano continues to be lauded around the world, Indians aren’t really buying into the idea. In a recent customer satisfaction poll conducted among 9,300 car owners in 26 Indian cities, the world’s cheapest car lagged far behind its closest competitor.’

The exhibition also suggests that for the $2,200 they might pay for a Nano, Indians could have had two motorcycles, three cows, 33 saris, 60 train tickets, five holidays in Thailand, three laptops, 1,200 packs of cigarettes, or 150 bags of rice.
