India
Today in Social Studies, we watched an
India movie.
Let’s start with the Varansi and Ganges Rivers. The Ganges is where people pray. Shiva is the god of death and protects the rivers. Trains are good for travel to and from the rivers.
Next is the Taj Mahal. The Shah, who was the king of
India, built this for his late wife as a monument after her 15th child. The building was started in 1631 and took 20 years and 20,000 people to build. When the Shah died, he was put next to his wife in the Taj Mahal.
Then, there are religious ceremonies. The
Krishna is one of them. Fire is also used in ceremonies as a resemblance of god from man. Karma is what you do. Good or bad Karma is determined on what you do.
The movie talked about Old Delhi and
New Delhi. Old Delhi is the older capitol of India, and New Delhi is the present capitol of
India.
Corbit National Park is a park for wildlife. It is
India’s first national park and was created by Jim Corbit, a naturalist.
The movie had a lot of interesting information about
India.
