Le Temple de Grand Bassin - Ganga Talao est un lieu de recueillement, idéal pour se ressourcer.
Tous les jours les pèlerins viennent déposer des offrandes et faire brûler de l’encens.
Les hindouistes s'y rendent pieds nus en procession au moment du pèlerinage de Mahashivatri pour s'y purifier.
Grand Bassin, also known as Ganga Talao is natural crater lake situated in the mountain area of Savanne district, South of the island. What makes this lake special is that it is the most sacred place for Mauritian Hindus who make the pilgrimage bare feet from their homes to the lake during the Shivaratri festival. There is a temple dedicated to the Lord Shiva and other Hindu Gods. There is also a 108 foot tall statue of Lord Shiva at the entrance which is a faithful copy of the Shiva statue of Sursagar lake in Vadodara, Gujarat, India.
