Often I see men carrying a decorated shrine on their shoulders and on a pilgrimage. They depend on the good will of shopkeepers and others for their meals as they walk toward their destination, a holy place or temple, as a personal penance. I am not sure which deity he is carrying as the fresh flower decorations completely covered the icon.

This person was carrying a load of a different kind -- a cooking gas cylinder - to appease a different desire - that of the stomach. It was uncanny how both had a look of determination as they walked.
