Grand Bassin

De plaats van het hindoeïsme, die de multiculturele stijl van Mauritius aanmaakt, is echt bijzonder, en trouwens, om de hindoeïsme cultuur te leren. Als u een pakketreis bezoekt, kunt u hier kaarten spelen, de omgeving is goed en de religieuze atmosfeer is erg goed.

Grand Bassin, which means "Great Basin" in French, is located between the mountains in the south of Mao Island. It is the largest natural lake in Mao Island. It is formed by volcanic eruption at an altitude of 550 meters. Legend has it that in 1897 two priests of Hinduism claimed to have seen in their dreams "the Great Basin" in the south of Mao Island springing up like mushrooms in a large lake and becoming a branch of Indian Holy Water "Ganges". As soon as the news came out, it spread rapidly and caused a great disturbance among Hindu people. The following year, several pilgrims came here to worship and fetch water from the lake to worship Shiva. Since then, pilgrimage has become an important custom for Hindus in Mao Island, especially during Shiva Festival from February to March every year. The pilgrimage from their homes barefoot and the celebration ceremony are quite spectacular. Therefore, Baxin Lake, also known as "Ganga Talao", means "Holy Water of the Ganges River", has become the largest and most sacred Hindu holy place in Mao Island.

Holy Water Lake, also known as Grange Pool, is a volcanic lake left behind by volcanic eruption. It is a large Indian holy place besides the Indian mainland. Many devout people come here and there are many gods. The scenery is really good. Many people come here. It is really beautiful. When the weather is good, you can feel it.

Hinduism, chartered to see two Buddhas still under construction on the road, the driver explained to us but did not remember. The local people as long as they are Hindu will worship God in their yard. Holy Water Lake is a rare freshwater lake, which should be worshipped by Hindu Buddhas. Inside the temple, you need to take off your shoes. It is said that you can take photos of Buddha statues, unlike in China. The local people have a pilgrimage festival every year. Hindus from all sides of Mao ball come to Holy Water Lake to pray for blessings. It is very grand.

Soon we arrived at Baxin Lake, also known as Shengshui Lake, which is a natural lake formed by volcanic eruption. The famous Hindu temple in Mauritius by the lake is also the largest temple besides India itself. Thus, it is also a place of worship for Mauritian Indians, especially on the annual "Shiva Day" celebrations. Because of the rain, the beauty of the lake is not very much felt, but the temples by the lake are quite interesting. There is Indian music in their ears, and monks who help tourists to order cinnabar and pray for blessings. It seems that when they come to India, they are very exotic. I also order to pray for happiness, health and good luck. There are some sand on my forehead silently, which is very interesting. I can't give up washing them all night. By the way, remember to take off your shoes when you enter the temple.

The holy land of Hinduism in Mauritius built a temple beside the Holy Water Lake, which enshrined unfamiliar and varied gods. The believers believed that the water of the Holy Water Lake could lead to the Ganges River.

Mauritius is a very famous tourist attraction. This is a very important Indian temple, where there are many tourists and local people. The tourists came, took some pictures, looked around and left. The local people come to worship God. The driver who brought us stopped and went straight to worship God. How about the scenery? Just look at the photos.
