MAURITIUS, February 12, 2023 (Defi Media / Google translated from French): Many pilgrims are already on their way to the sacred lake of Grand-Bassin on February 12. We are a week away from the great night of Shiva at Grand-Bassin, this coming Sunday. The weather’s nice. The parking lots are almost full. Many devotees wanted to take advantage of this last Sunday before Maha Shivaratri to go to Grand-Bassin to avoid the heavy traffic jams expected this week. We hear religious songs on loudspeakers. Between the sounds of bells and the “Har Har Mahadev,” the pilgrims dressed in traditional white clothes say prayers before collecting water from the sacred lake that they will bring home. Last year, the Mauritius Sanatan Dharma Temples Federation had asked devotees of Shiva not to hold processions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
