Sikhism for children
Suitable for: younger children
Carol Rainbow, a primary teacher, has created this site to teach younger children the history, beliefs and way of life of Sikhs. Informative and colourful.
Tour of the Golden Temple

It requires Netscape 3/Internet Explorer 3, but a more powerful system is preferable.
