Sumita Celebrates Holi

Follow Sumita and her family as they prepare to celebrate Holi and discover why the story of Holika and Prahlad is so important to Hindus. Although Sumita is a fictional character, her experiences are grounded in real Hindu beliefs, traditions, and celebrations.

Designed for Reception pupils, this engaging case study helps children understand that some stories are special and some are sacred. Through Sumita’s journey, children discover how the story of Holika and Prahlad shapes the way Hindus celebrate Holi and what this festival means within a Hindu worldview.

Part of a wider study of festivals and worldviews, this resource explores Holi through a Hindu worldview and can be used alongside Sam Celebrates Easter, which explores Easter through a Christian worldview.
