Sun Valley, one of the best ski resorts in USA, is showing an exhibition on Hindu Lord Ganesha till February 20.

On display at Sun Valley Center for the Arts in Ketchum (Idaho), the artworks range from centuries-old sculptures to contemporary photographs illustrating the historical legacy and spiritual significance of Ganesha titled “Discovering Ganesha: Remover of Obstacles’. Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed god, is worshipped as a god of wisdom and remover of obstacles and invoked before the beginning of any major undertaking by Hindus worldwide.

As part of this exhibition, a session on “Meditation, Yoga and Ayurvedic Healing” will be held on January 8th and a “Sari Tying” event is planned on January 30th. A sari (saree) is about four to nine meters long strip of unstitched cloth used as a female garment in the Indian subcontinent.

Hindus have commended the Center for efforts to educate the world about Lord Ganesha through various art forms. Art has a long and rich tradition in Hinduism and ancient Sanskrit literature talks about religious paintings of deities on wood or cloth. It is an admirable attempt of Sun Valley Center for the Arts to provide avenues to the public to look deeper into concepts of Hinduism, which was the oldest and third largest religion of the world rich in philosophical thought.
