Celebrating Hindu Prayer Puja 🪔

Mrs Farooq

Children across Year 3 learnt all about the Hindu prayer called Puja. They learnt about the importance for Hindus including reasons like honouring and showing devotion to the Gods as well as a way to receive blessings and ask for forgiveness. Children also learnt about the objects placed on the Hindu tray including a bell to summon God and invite him into their homes, a Diya lamp which is a symbol of God’s presence and incense sticks to provide a clean fragrant air for God and the Hindus worshipping amongst others. Children saw Mrs Patel anointing a fellow Hindu in the class with Kumkum powder and the class were fascinated and intrigued. It was an amazing, eye opening lesson and all children demonstrated great tolerance and excellent respect. Well done 👏🪔🤩
