"Cowport"

Finally got a chance to get a photo of my favorite "cowport" (as opposed to "carport").

The shed at the back houses a well-kept cow. I never noticed the swastika design on the gate until I viewed this photo. The swastika is a very common good luck symbol in India and has nothing to do with Nazis. You find it everywhere from temples to trucks. It was appropriated by Hitler as part of his love of all things "Aryan" (which is Indian, not northern European).
A closer look at the cow. My cell phone doesn't do digital zoom all that well (obviously!).
