My Life, My Religion: Hinduism

What does it mean to be a Hindu? 14-year-old Simran explains all about her religion, Hinduism, in this Learning Zone programme for primary school children.

Simran loves music and photography, and spending time with her younger brother Vraj. Simran and Vraj tell us all about the festival of Raksha Bandhan that celebrates the love between siblings. During the Hindu festival of Diwali, Simran and Vraj make rangoli patterns and at Holi they cover one another in colourful paints. Simran tells us all about the traditions that take place at Hindu weddings.

Simran’s younger brother, 11-year-old Vraj, tells us all about the different Hindu gods and tells us how he worships God both at home and at the Mandir.

Meanwhile, Simran meets with her friends to share stories about pilgrimages they have been on to important Hindu religious sites.

My Life, My Religion: Hinduism is one of a series of programmes aimed at Key Stage 2 Religious Studies.
