Imagine India: Macy’s brings Lord Ganesha to SFO
Walking around Union Square in San Francisco, I was surprised to see a huge Lord Ganesha sitting on top of the Macy’s sign. Apparently, the SFO Union Square Macy’s has a flower show every year. The theme for their 61st annual Flower show was “Imagine India”.
They got it mostly right - 20 feet Ganesha in front, windows decorated, lots of silk and Indian cotton apparels in the store, and of course the Indian tricolor fluttering on top of the store. You wonder what’s the business incentive - it wasn’t additional foot traffic. Cultural capital, maybe?
