My objects are the pictures of the Hindu gods. They are what my parents pray to. All the gods in the Hindu religion are basically connected to one god, thus being one god spread into multiple. The Hindu gods are the beacon of hope for the Hindu’s. We pray to the gods on a daily basis to show our hope and thank them for all they did and still do. All of us have different religions, but Hinduism is mine and the one that is most important to me.
The objects are important to my family and I because it is what we pray to. The rule that applies to us is after you shower, you pray. It is everyday that you pray. It is also important to me because this is another way my family bonds. There are stories of our religion that help us remember who we our and what our past it and what the Gods’ history is. It describes part of who I am because it is part of my religion. 
My family is Hindu and we pray everyday to these Gods’. They are important to us and our family culture. They are what keep me and my family alive.
