Maha Shivaratree is one of the most revered Hindu festivals in Mauritius, marked by devotion and spiritual reflection. Thousands of pilgrims dressed in white embark on a sacred journey to Grand Bassin, carrying intricately decorated kanwars to honor Lord Shiva. The rituals, including offerings of water from the holy lake, symbolize purification and faith.
This festival goes beyond religious practices, embodying unity, peace, and generosity. Volunteers provide support to pilgrims, reflecting the solidarity of the Mauritian people. As prayers and chants fill the air, devotees return home spiritually renewed.
Est Presse and estpresse.mu extend warm wishes for Maha Shivaratree to all those celebrating.
