330 MILLION FACES:
HINDU DEITIES
MARCH 4 - APRIL27

 

The Hindu pantheon has, in a famous example of hyperbole, over 330 million deities. In a sense India is God-intoxicated, there is god everywhere, in all things: within/without, above/below, in the six degrees of separation and in the three planes of existence. 

There are gods for vegetation, weather, nature, geographical areas; there are gods in villages, houses, the temples, running water, the deepest forest and in icy mountain heights. There is no situation, environment and place that the Indian does not have a god for. Gods inspire, gods infuse art and creativity and gods provoke destruction too.

In this rich exhibition featuring paintings on silk, the three key Hindu deities are showcased (Brahma The Creator, Vishnu The Protector or Preserver, and Shiva The Destroyer) along with numerous other Hindu deities.  Though Hinduism’s roots are centuries old, modern India is still steeped in the rich, complex traditions of this global religion.  This exhibit gives a glimpse into the traditions and history of Hinduism and offers a feast for the eyes via a riot of color, texture, and detail.
