The Praying room



Children pray two times a day - in the morning and in the evening. When the sun sets, the older children light candles and incense, while the little ones sit in neat lines and sing and chant their prayers. The gods on the wall are Shiva and his wife Parvati - one of the strongest gods in Hinduism. The Swastika symbolizes luck and its direct translation from Sanskrit is "to be good" or "being with the higher self".
