On the
mountains you can observe a temple. It is located in Port Louis.
There is in Mauritius Island a large number of temples which
have been built during the last years and also in the past
during the period of importation of the Indians to the island.
The population of Mauritius are in majority from Indian
descendants which are known as Mauritian Hindus. Most of the
Indians are descendants from the labourers who were brought from
Bihar a state in India to work in Mauritius in sugar cane
fields. Building temples started by the Hindus who settled on
the island and decided in a group to build temples for their
beliefs and religious practices. Nowadays Mauritius has temples
in almost every corner of the island. But as Mauritius is a
mixture of culture you may find a mosque, a pagoda or a church
next to a temple. |
