ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY
ROUTE OF INDIAN SPIRITUALITY
A playful approach, but very respectful of Indian spirituality in Mauritius through 3 emblematic temples, its main deities, anecdotes and Mauritian history. Why does Shiva have a blue neck? Why does lingam need to be constantly watered?
Why is Ganesh's right defense broken? … Maha Shivaratree, Cavadee, Ganesh Chaturti, Ganga Snan, Govinden? … What do we celebrate on the occasion of these festivals?
