In the airport in Thailand we saw this amazing sculpture. It is a sculpture of the churning of the ocean of milk by the gods and the demigods holding on to the snake Vasuki. The churning produced the guy on top, Dhanvantari who is the doctor of the gods. It also produced amrta – the nectar of immortality but also poison, which Shiva caught and held in his throat which made his throat turn blue. A bunch of Indian people were posing in front of the sculpture and smiling. It is a fully awesome sculpture. One of the coolest sculptures I’ve ever seen in an airport. –aj
