Hindu beliefs and traditions
This photo was taken in the Temple in Preston. Hindus believe there is one God.  God is called Brahman.  

Brahman can use different bodies.  Hindus worship these different gods and goddesses. 

Hindus have statues and pictures of these in the temple.
Hindus believe in reincarnation.  This means people are born.  Then they die.  Then they are born again.

Each new life is called an incarnation. It can be a person or an animal.  If you live a good life you will have a good incarnation.  

Hindus believe in four classes of people.
Hindus believe people have different duties.  Karma is a law or duty.  Everyone in the world has duties.  
Prophets (or Rishi) are people who can 'see' God.  They teach us about God.  Their writings are called 'Vedas'.
