Hinduism lives from a multitude of religious traditions, goddesses and their myths. Using sculptures from the Museum für Asiatische Kunst, the pupils learn about the diversity of gods: Shiva as the god of creation and destruction, the perfect goddess Durga and the elephant-headed Ganesha. They also meet the bull Nandi and the amiable Krishna, an avatar of the god Vishnu.
