Most Hindus pray at
home. Hindus have a shrine
in their house. This is a place with pictures and
statues.
Hindu people also pray in the
temple.
|
 |
They light divas
(lamps) and candles. They may burn incense. The sweet
smell goes everywhere. This is like God as God is
everywhere. |
|
They may ring a
bell. This tells God they are there and stops people
hearing other
sounds. |
