This unit develops and extends the learning from Unit L2.7 (Unit 27) entitled How do Hindus describe the divine? In this unit, pupils build on their understanding of Brahman and look at lived reality through examining Puja at home, worship in the mandir and the festival of Diwali. Pupils will reflect on the idea of dharma through two stories which will sow seeds for examining this concept in more depth in Upper Key Stage 2.
