Today we watched a video about a Hindu Family Shrine and then looked at a variety of objects used in worship. Can you find out some more about these things?
diva or arti lamps
kumkum powder
the "om" symbol
Which other objects can you remember were used for prayer?

Kum kum is a powder used for social and religious markings in Hinduism. It is either made from turmeric or saffron. The turmeric is dried and powdered with a bit of slaked lime, which turns the rich yellow powder into a red color.I found this on widipedia this morning
