The Arul Mihu Navasakthi Vinayagar Temple, located in Victoria, Seychelles, is the only Hindu temple in the country. Built in 1992, it is dedicated to Lord Vinayagar (Ganesh), the remover of obstacles. The temple's most striking feature is its vibrant, intricately designed tower, or gopuram, which stands over 30 meters tall. Inside, the temple houses a small sanctum with a statue of Vinayagar. It is a place of worship for the local Hindu community and hosts colorful celebrations, especially during Hindu festivals. The temple's design is inspired by traditional temples from southern India.

Southern Indian temple that is pretty. Come here as part of your Victoria tour. Note it closes at noon and reopens 6pm. It is testimony to the emigre of Southern Indians to Sesel, many work in the retail distribution trade.

An interesting, colorful temple. Very similar to the temple in the capital of Mauritius. It is one of the few sights for tourist that Victoria has. It is just a few steps away from the market.

Bang in the middle of Victoria is this beautiful and peaceful Hindu temple. It’s worth visiting for its external grandeur.
