Ganga Talao, Mauritius (02-07-2008 - 18:56:13)
Hindu Shrine at Ganga Talao or Grand Bassin, lake in the district of Savanne, MauritiusOn the island of Mauritius, officially the Republic of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of the African continent, about 900 kilometres east of Madagascar, Maha Shivratri is a very important festival and public holiday.

For the Mauritian Hindu, a pilgrimage to the volcanic sacred lake of Grand Bassin is a spiritual obligation his family fulfills every year on Maha Shivratri. This the religious place in Mauritius where Supreme God Shiva is most worshipped.

In 1897, Shri Jhummon Giri Gosagne, a "pujari" (priest) from the North of the island, had a vision of a sacred lake in the southern jungles. The following year, the priest and a group of followers trekked to find the lake, the Grand Bassin or Ganga Talao, which his vision described as related to the river Ganges. Every year since then, on the occasion of Maha Shivaratri, pilgrims from all over the island walk to the Ganga Talao lake, to collect its water to offer to Lord Shiva.

The 108 feet statue of Lord Shiva (Shiva Statue) at Ganga Talao or Grand Bassin, Mauritius Island. The Shiva Statue was inaugurated in 2007 and the 'Sthapan' was done during the Maha Shivratri period of 2008.Ganga Talao or Grand Bassin is a lake situated in a secluded mountain area in the district of Savanne, deep in the heart of Mauritius. It is about 1800 feet above sea level. It is considered the most sacred Hindu place in Mauritius, according to Hindu mythology.

There is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva (Sanskrit: शिव) and other Gods including Hanuman (हनुमत्), Lakshmi (लक्ष्मी), and others along the Grand Bassin, with a 108 feet Shiva Statue inaugurated in 2007 (the highest known statue in Mauritius).
