The best way to illustrate the diversity of Hinduism is through the story of âA Mysterious Beast,â where an elephant comes to the Land of the Blind and the king sends his courtiers to find out what it is. Each man describes a different part of the elephant, all are correct in what they describe, but only in part in comparison to the whole. Students learn, as with the elephant, Hinduism is made up of many parts.
These worksheets include a game which explains how each part of the elephant is described by the blind men and asks the students to explain how this is linked to the Hindu religion.

The Lighthouse of Alexandria was built on the small island of Pharos as a beacon for sailors having to navigate the tricky harbour. At the time the lighthouses were built this was considered one of the centers of civilisation.
