About 5 km south of Grand Baie in the village of Triolet, this is the oldest and largest Hindu temple in Mauritius. The compound holds five separate shrines around a central tank, dedicated to Shiva, Krishna, Hanuman, Ganesh, and Surya. The colour scheme — sky blue and white, then jolted by gold and saffron statuary — is unmistakable.
The temple is active and visited daily; festivals at Maha Shivaratri (February/March) draw pilgrims from across the island. Dress modestly, remove shoes at the gate, and ask before photographing the inner shrines. A small donation is expected.
