Year 4 had a lovely visit to the Shree Krishna Mandir in West Bromwich as part of their learning on Hinduism. They took off their shoes and entered the marbled-floored temple, flanked by two elephant ‘guard’ statues and decorated with a beautiful lotus flower mural and made from sandstone carved in India! We listened to a talk about the building, how and why people pray, special features of the mandir and the many Hindu festivals. Finally, we took a tour around the temple to see the different shrines and deities.
