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.
