It was a great experience to stand in front of this
installation named “Surya Namaskara” at “Terminal 3 Indira Gandhi International
Airport”, New Delhi, India.
The human figures have been created by Sculptor/Artist
by the name of Nikhil Bhandari and was installed in 2011. These are 12 individual human figures which have been
sculpted to represent 12 yoga poses which collectively depict the Surya
Namaskar or the Sun Salutation. The spiral base of the installation provides
the most apt transition to the reach the climax.
Each pose is the culmination
of an asanas and when done early in the morning along with the recitation of
the correct chant gives a perfect workout for the entire body.
The airport might not be the place to practice these asanas
but without any doubt an appropriate place for showcasing our ancient tradition and instill a thirst to know more about it. Let’s start our day with humility
saluting the mighty power that makes our entire world revolve around it.
Simply put, why not pick up some knowledge on the go, particularly as it has the
potential to unleash holistic improvement for our body & soul….. Pagan or not
pagan.
