Australia’s Brookvale Union Brewery Apologizes For Hindu Deities On Beer Labels

From Reuters:

An Australian brewery has apologized for using images of Hindu deities on its alcoholic ginger beer bottles after the labels provoked outrage from Hindu devotees.

Brookvale Union Brewery’s line of ginger beer carried a composite picture of the face of the Hindu deity Ganesh juxtaposed with the body of the goddess Lakshmi, while other religious motifs appear in the background.

Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, said the labels were “highly inappropriate”, and called for their immediate removal.
