ABC’s Gateway to India

Imagine walking into a home decor and carpeting store, finding that parts of it have been converted into a spa which offers Ayurvedic massages and beauty treatments, and a theater which offers rich cultural experiences.

For one month starting February 16th, ABC Carpet & Home’s New York City location will feature “Gateway to India,” a “journey exploring the essence of the spirit, culture, color and artistry of India,” states the ABC Carpet & Home website. It “grew out of ABC Chief Executive Paulette
Cole’s interest in Eastern religions, Crain’s New York Business
reports” according to an article from United Press International.

The ABC Om Mind, Body & Spa will feature treatments and "…healing therapists from the Chopra Center and Spa." Experts like Dr. Deepak Chopra, Sharon Gannon of Jivamukti Yoga, Krishna Das, and Simran Sethi of Treehugger TV will be presenting throughout the month on topics such as yoga, meditation, green design, wildlife conservation, Bollywood, artisan demonstrations, politics, film and music.
