Explore the features, objects and practices found within Hindu sacred spaces with this beautifully designed classroom display resource.
Part of the Sacred Spaces collection, this pack introduces pupils to key features they may see, hear or encounter in and around a mandir, explaining their purpose, meaning and significance within Hindu worship.
The pack includes a large Sacred Spaces: Hinduism - Mandir centrepiece alongside 11 matching illustrated information cards covering Murti, Shrine, Puja Tray, Temple Bell, Diya, Incense, Offerings, Inner Sanctum, Music & Chanting, Temple Tower and Aarti Lamp.
Pupils can explore the importance of the murti and shrine within Hindu worship, discover objects used during puja, and learn about features including the garbhagriha, temple bell and temple tower. The cards also introduce sensory elements of worship such as incense, light, music and chanting, helping pupils understand what they might experience when visiting a mandir.
The resource introduces key Hindu vocabulary in context, including murti, puja, darshan, ghanta, diya, prasad, garbhagriha, bhajan, mantra, shikhara, vimana and aarti, while remaining accessible for KS3 pupils.
Care has been taken to acknowledge the diversity of Hindu sacred spaces and traditions rather than suggesting that every mandir looks the same or contains identical features.
Designed with a consistent, museum-inspired aesthetic, the cards can be arranged around the large Mandir centrepiece to suit your available display space. Try connecting the individual cards to the centrepiece using coloured string or ribbon to create an eye-catching Sacred Spaces feature wall.
Ideal for KS3 Religious Education, Hinduism units, places of worship topics, mandir visit preparation and follow-up, classroom and corridor displays, revision areas and whole-school RE displays.
This listing contains the Hinduism - Mandir set only. Other religions in the Sacred Spaces collection are available separately, allowing you to choose the faith traditions relevant to your curriculum. A complete Sacred Spaces bundle will also be available.
