In Iran, portraits of Muhammad and of Ali, printed on pieces of cloth or woven into carpets, are called temsal ("likenesses") and can be bought around shrines and in the streets, to be hung in homes or carried with oneself. In Pakistan, India and Bangladesh portraits of Ali can be found on notoriously ornate trucks, buses and rickshaws.
Images of Muhammad and Ali, referred to as temsal, are sold in Iran and can also be found on vehicles in Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh.
