Thank you through Hindu worship

This Kapow pupil video is part of the Kapow Religion and worldviews scheme of work. It explores how many Hindus say thank you to God through a special ritual called puja, using all five senses to show love, respect and gratitude.

The video explains that puja can happen at home or in a mandir, and involves welcoming Brahman—God—into a space using objects like murtis, bells, lamps, and incense. Water, food, flowers, and powders are used to offer thanks and focus the mind. Many Hindus believe showing love to the murtis is like showing love to Brahman. The video encourages pupils to think about how rituals like puja help people connect with their beliefs and express thankfulness every day.

The video is designed to be shown to pupils as part of Religion and worldviews, Key stage 1, Year 2, *Updated* Why do we need to give thanks? Lesson 4: How can puja express thanks?
