Question

Write a summary of the passage given in your own words (5 marks)
Some people go to a church, Gurudwara, Masjid or a Temple to pray. Many others pray at home; they would clean the place, sometimes cover it with a cloth, and wash their hands and feet, before saying their prayers. Some will fold their hands, lower their head in submission, bend their knees and close their eyes. Thus, methods and places may vary superficially; however, one thing is common to all of them. They adopt a reverential attitude for praying. The prime purpose of saying prayers is self-transformation leading to self-revelation. It awakens
intuition and the value of Truth, and releases Love energy. Praying with understanding inculcates Peace, inner harmony and equanimity. Regular prayers instil discipline and righteousness in our actions. It is said that Work is the body's

prayer to the Divine' It has been rightly has said that 'Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray.'

Answer 1

Answer:

A place of worship is a specially designed structure or space where individuals or a group of people such as a congregation come to perform acts of devotion, veneration, or religious study. A building constructed or used for this purpose is sometimes called a house of worship. Temples, churches, synagogues and mosques are examples of structures created for worship. A monastery, particularly for Buddhists, may serve both to house those belonging to religious orders and as a place of worship for visitors. Natural or topographical features may also serve as places of worship, and are considered holy or sacrosanct in some religions; the rituals associated with the Ganges river are an example in Hinduism.
