One of the world's oldest faiths
Hinduism is one of the oldest and largest religions in the world, and this puzzle gathers its key words. You'll be finding the place of worship, the MANDIR (a Hindu TEMPLE), the act of worship, PUJA, the sacred scriptures, the VEDAS, and ideas at the heart of the faith like KARMA and DHARMA.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the words, no two Hinduism word searches are the same. One round a backwards NAMASTE hides in a corner; the next a diagonal BRAHMAN appears across the middle.
Festivals, worship and beliefs
Hindu life is full of colour, devotion and meaning, and the words are here. There are joyful festivals like DIWALI (with its DIYA lamps) and HOLI, worship with AARTI and a MURTI image, and the warm greeting NAMASTE. You'll also find a GURU's teaching, the practice of YOGA, a sacred MANTRA, the path of devotion BHAKTI, the goal of MOKSHA, the idea of REBIRTH, the great spirit BRAHMAN, a holy ASHRAM, the TILAK mark worn on the forehead, and the sacred river GANGES.
It's a great fit for an RE or world-religions topic. Tracking down N-A-M-A-S-T-E turns spelling practice into a lesson about Hinduism.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each word you spot locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left to find.
