  • Mobile voucher
  • Instant confirmation
Overview

A playful approach, but very respectful of Indian spirituality in Mauritius through the visit of 3 emblematic temples, its main deities, anecdotes and Mauritian history, slavery and commitment to the present day. Why does Shiva have a blue neck? Why should lingam be constantly watered? Why is Ganesh's right defence broken? … Maha Shivaratree, Cavadee, Ganesh Chaturti, Ganga Snan, Govinden? … What are we celebrating at these festivals? Hindu religion, Tamil religion? What impact on Mauritian society today? Are we so culturally distant or so close? We also propose to attend and follow the processions or prayers on specific festival dates.
