In this colourful celebration of the Hindu faith, readers will learn all about Hinduism and how Hindus worship. Readers will be introduced to Hindu gods and goddesses, they will visit a mandir (temple), join worshippers during puja (prayer), discover how worshippers make offerings to their gods and learn all about the ceremony of Arti, or light, during which Hindus pray and receive God’s blessing. Prayer also takes place in the home, and readers will see how Hindus create shrines in their homes where they can pray, chant mantras and make offerings to their favourite gods. The book explains how Hindus strive to live a kind life by helping others, giving to charity and showing respect and care to animals. Readers will also get to see how a new baby is welcomed into a Hindu family, learn about Hindu weddings and enjoy finding out about the festivals of Holi and Diwali. Filled with beautiful photographs, this book is a wonderful first introduction to the Hindu faith.
