There is a long tradition that we have imbibed from our parents that to begin our day invoking the blessings of God and giving offerings to God, so that all our undertakings shall be turned fruitful. When it comes to employees of private and KSRTC buses plying the service, only the former keep up the tradition.
In private buses they have the images of God, some having images from various religions as well, garlanded with fresh flowers in the morning, devotional music being played and making offerings to God, irrespective of temple, church or mosque. No wonder, most private buses ply their services without loss, a person who starts the business with one bus going on to own several buses in the blink of an eye.
