Maheswarnath Mandir, also known as Grand Shivala Triolet, is the largest and one of the oldest Hindu temples in Mauritius, located in Triolet. Built in 1888 by Pandit Shri Sajeebunlall Ramsoondur, the temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is closely linked to the origins of the annual Maha Shivaratri pilgrimage to Ganga Talao. Constructed on the ruins of a former sugar factory, the temple's architecture blends influences from Bengal and Odisha, reflecting the cultural heritage of Indian immigrants. The temple complex houses several shrines dedicated to various Hindu deities and remains an important religious and historical landmark on the island.

Silent location, just very few people around. Follow the rules, they are marked with signs and are written on plates.
