Trucks in Pakistan over the years have played a dual role of being a major form of transportation along with becoming moving billboards that showcase not only the artist's but also of the truck owner's aesthetic scene of art and their social, spiritual and religious affiliations. Pakistan's truck art is therefore a potent form of explaining this form of displayed affiliation. This study delves into the symbolic meaning and spiritual significance of images painted on trucks, Their history and contemporary relevance to public.
