Welcome to the most sacred place in Mauritius! Visiting Ganga Talao and dipping your feet in its waters is, according to Hindu beliefs, like doing so in those running through the river Ganges. Legend has it that, enamored with the island, the god Shiva made a few drops of Ganges water fall into one of the three craters of Mauritius, thus forming this marvel. There you can feel the emotion of the faithful who pilgrimage to its temple during Shivaratri and make offerings to the gods represented around the lake.
