Top 10 Sacred & Religious Sites in Mauritius, Mauritius

March 6, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

Mauritius is arguably Africa’s wealthiest destination, a tropical paradise with tons to do. Port Louis, the modern capital of this 38-mile by 29-mile island, is a bustling port with a revitalized waterfront and a busy market. But most visitors gravitate toward resort areas such as Mont Choisy, quiet Trou-aux-Biches and the more bustling Flic en Flac, popular with scuba divers. Rivière Noire is ideal for those looking for great deep-sea fishing.

Sagar Shiv Mandir

Reviewed By JayAdventurer - Mauritius, null

Sagar Shiv Mandir is a Hindu temple located in the Eastern coast of Mauritius. It is a place of worship for Hindus and other religions in Mauritius. It is also a tourist attraction. The temple is worth visiting as it is found on an island surrounded by sea with beautiful scenery all around. It is a very peaceful place where you can appreciate a very good moment and medidate as well. Access to the temple is very easy by any means of transportation through a bridge which is linked to the temple. To enter the temple, you will have to leave your shoes outside.

Kaylasson Temple

Reviewed By surfyboy1973

We visited the Kaylasson Temple, or Sockalingum Meenatchee Ammen Kovil as it’s otherwise known, whilst on a day trip to Port Louis during our honeymoon in October 2019. The Hindu temple is located on the outskirts of Port Louis and is dedicated to the god "Shiva". The temple itself is absolutely stunning and the pictures I took don't do it justice. The colours are so bold and striking it literally takes your breath away. Make sure your camera is charged when you visit as you will definitely use it. I would advise sensible clothing when visiting the temple as it is a place of worship, and remember to take off your shoes before you go inside the temple. There is no charge for visiting the temple and there is a large car park onsite. I would recommend spending a good hour to fully appreciate this magnificent building. If you like peacocks, you can see them at the rear of the temple. If you are visiting Port Louis, then this is something you definitely should not miss. Highly recommended – 10/10.
