In school on friday the 14 of february, we watched a movie on India. In the movie we learned about the varanassie and the Ganges, The taj mahal, hindu ceramonies, dehlie, and corbett national park. We took notes on all of these things. The hindues come to pray and bathe in the ganges river because it is considerd holy. Hindues throw their creamated family members in the ganges. Shiva is the hindu god of death, the hindues pray for their departed to her. The hindues also were their hair up under their turbans as a religios reason. Also while the british occupied India they built an extensive railroad tracks

The Taj Mahal is the palace were the shaw burried his wife a long time ago. In the movie the man hired a rickshaw, which is a small car that is the esiest way to get around indian cities. It is also an easy way to get to the Taj Mahal. There are also twenty thousand people that work at the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal’s walls have lots of precios stones in them.

There are lots of hindue ceramonies. There are ceromonies on the most popular god Krishna. Krishna was saved by his parents like baby moses of the christan religion.

Dehlie is the capital of India. It is divided into two parts, New dehlie and old Dehlie. Dehlie was the capital of muslum rule a long time ago.
