San Francisco Airport (SFO), among the world’s busiest and in the top 30 airports, calls itself the “Gateway to the Pacific”.
Inside, is the SFO Museum who is hosting the exhibition “Deities in Stone: Hindu Sculpture”
The museum was established in 1980 as one the first cultural institutions to be located inside an international airport to receive major accreditation.
The “Deities in Stone: Hindu Sculpture” exhibition will contain idols and relics of a number of Hindu gods that have been used in religious ceremonies.
These idols will be on display until next February.
Good ol’ Ganesha, I have seen hundreds of these in Bombay and Nasik city in India. They have a festival where they throw idols of this and other dieties into the water after a few days of praying. Is this worship of water deities (demons)?
Water demons, what the hell are talking about? Hinduism is all about peace and harmony with orhers. And we dont worship demons, we worship Gods. It is the abrahamic religions that are always warring with each other!
We believe in ahinsaa (non-violence).
