Off Western Express Highway

#MigrantGods 

On social media, I was adding images to a hashtag called #SlumgodsOfMumbai when the Ganga Walker aka Siddharth Agarwal suggested that they are in fact migrant gods or deities. 

So true! This two South Indian deities are pasted by a Tamizh lady who sells idlis and vadais in the morning on the Footpath. When her shop is open, the images feel at home. Part time gods. In the afternoon, they are hiding in plain sight among mumbaiya maximum decibels.
