Temple Visits
We have been organising school visits to Hindu temples since 1990.
IES staff are experienced in giving presentations on all aspects of Hinduism,
embracing a broad range of traditions.
Staff members are specifically trained in educational theory and practice.
They are also seasoned practitioners of Hinduism.
We cater to all age groups, from pre-school to post-16; also to a wide range of
schools, embracing the independent sector and special needs.
We aim to provide learning resources that are authentic, exciting and accessible.
Our approach has always been learning-centred, favouring experiential and interactive learning.
We discuss how the visit fits into students’ learning needs, with specific reference to both preparation and follow-up.
A visit to your local temple may include the following options:
- Conducted tour (with bullock cart ride)
- General interactive presentation
- Dressing up workshops
- Cultural presentation (dance, drama, music, etc.)
- Darshan (audience) of the temple deities (and seeing the arti ceremony.)
- Traditional vegetarian lunch
- Visiting the souvenir and resource shop (with appropriately priced items).
Please note: all these options are generally available at Bhaktivedanta Manor; other centres may provide only selected services. They may also offer additional services.
Please do contact the relevant centre for further details.
