Triolet Shivala
The village of Triolet is the largest in the Pamplemousses
district, and is home to the largest Hindu temple in Mauritius, the
Triolet Shivala. Constructed in 1819 in honour of the Gods Shiva,
Vishnu, Krishna, Brahma, Ganesha, and Muruga, the temple is an
impressive site. The village hosts a traditional early-morning
market each Sunday, and the Maha Shivarathri festival is celebrated
here in February/March each year.
