A lighthearted yet deeply respectful exploration of Indian spirituality in Mauritius, highlighted by visits to three iconic temples. Discover the main deities, intriguing anecdotes, and the rich history of Mauritius, including slavery and its ongoing commitment to religion’s significant role in daily life. Why does Shiva have a blue neck? Why must the lingam be continuously watered? Why is Ganesh’s right tusk broken? Explore festivals like Maha Shivaratree, Cavadee, Ganesh Chaturti, Ganga Snan, and Govinden. What do these celebrations signify? Are they rooted in Hindu or Tamil traditions? How do they influence Mauritian society today? Are we culturally distant or closely connected, as when the Red Sea parted for Moses, just as the Yamuna did for Krishna and his father?

Join us in attending and participating in processions or prayers on specific festival dates.
