Grand Bassin

Grand Bassin is one of the most sacred places in Mauritius for Hindu people. Once a year, all of the Hindus march for days through the island until they reach the lagoon were they make fruit offerings to their Gods. It has a 360-degree view of the island and you can see the ocean surrounding almost everywhere. There are temples here for Hanuhman, Vishnu and Shiva, and there are images of other deities as well.

Amelia, her cousin Anita, Sonia and I went for a mini roadtrip on Saturday to Grand Bassin and the surrounding woods. It was very nice, especially because of the weather! They say that it always rains up there, but when we went it was very pleasant and sunny.
