In Mauritius the most population
is indian so there is a large number of temples on the small
island and they still building more. It can be said that almost
in every corner you see a temple. The indian temples look
splendid often very colourful with different gods. The indian
believe and pray in different god which represent different
things. For Maha Shivaratri the Mauritian Indians will go to
Grand Bassin, a sacred lake found in the central part of the
island, to pray the god Shiva. Over fifty percent of the
Mauritian population are indian as in the past a lot of slaves
have been imported from india to work in the sugar cane fields.
After the abolition of slavery, they stayed on the island most
of had a piece of land so they decided to go on with their life
in Mauritius instead returning back to India. |
