In the mountains of Mauritius, there is the Ganga Talao or Grand Basin lake, sacred to the Hindus, on the banks of which there are several Hindu temples and statues. And the 33-meter statue of the god Shiva with a trident in his hands majestically looks at everyone. The lake was formed in the crater of a volcano. There are many legends and legends about him. There are pedestals around the sacred lake, on which Hindus put donations to their gods. As a rule, these are fruits, rice, sweets and flowers. It's kind of messy because of this. The wind blows gifts into the lake and all over the site. There were not very many believers, more tourists were staring and taking pictures. What is valuable for the Indians is not at all clear to us, but more curious. Nearby, across the road, another statue of the goddess Durga with a lion is being built.
In parallel with the highway, there is a road to the lake, so that in late February and early March, crowds of pilgrims walking from their homes to temples do not interfere with the passage of cars.
You can spend a maximum of 30 minutes on this attraction, see everything and take pictures.
