Last week year 2 children had an exciting visit to the Shree Ganapathy Hindu temple in Wimbledon. We travelled by train and the children did a great job of walking to the station in New Malden and from Wimbledon station to the temple. We arrived at the temple in time to see the end of the puja ceremony performed by the priest. The children sat and watched as offerings of flowers, fruit, incense and candle light were made to the different deities in the temple. Once puja had been completed, we were able to walk around the temple and look at the different deities and how they had been blessed. After a quick drink and snack, we had a short discussion with one of the temple staff. We learned the importance of engaging the five senses in Hindu puja and the children were able to share how they had seen this done.
