Ganga Talao (commonly known as Grand Bassin) is a crater lake situated in a secluded mountain area in the district of Savanne, deep in the heart of Mauritius. It is about 550 m (1,800 ft) above sea level. The first group of pilgrims who went to Ganga Talao were from the village of Triolet and it was led by Pandit Giri Gossayne from Terre Rouge in 1898.

One among the best prilgrim place in Mauritius. A must to visit.

Beautiful and serene surroundings with colorful and amazing idols and a beautiful temple.

Pretty temple on the banks of a small lake very peaceful and quite picturesque well worth a visit.

Its a very religious place for hindu people in 🇲🇺. Hundreds of thousands of people converge to Grand bassin for mahashivratre. And some people go by there vehicles, foot, bicycle. And some people built their kanwar and go by foot.

(Translated by Google) It is a must to see when you are in Mauritius. The Hindu faith is beautiful if you draw strength from that, I think. My Dutch neighbors also have this belief. Prima is a choice. I myself believe in myself. no one to tell me if I am doing something right. I really know that myself. Please in yourself. Very important😎 (Original) Wel een must om te zien als je op Mauritius bent.Het Hindoe geloof is mooi als je daar kracht uit put denk ik.Mijn Nederlandse buren hebben dit geloof ook.Prima is een keuze.Zelf geloof ik ook maar dan in mezelf.Vooral hoeft niemand mij te zeggen als ik iets goed doe.Dat weet ik echt zelf wel.Believe in yourself.Verry important😎

I was unaware of Mauritius history when I went there. Was surprised when the tour made a stop at this Hindu Temple. Then I started reading about the history. The Ganga Talao is so calm and spiritual place. Spend good 2-3 hrs here walking around and admiring the temple. Do visit here if in Mauritius and do read about the history.

Lovely and pious place.

Beautiful holly place. Largest statue

At the foot of Mangal Mahadev you feel a real positive vibe..

A hall mostly used during the Mahashivaratree festival for cultural activities. This

Short walk up the stairs and well worth the climb. Nice panoramic views of the Grand Bassin and the surrounding forest. There is a small shrine at the top.

Very nice place get peace there n got holi water 2 bring

Beautiful and serene for meditation

Great peaceful place to be. (Be braced for monkey's visit) ❤🌷

Hindu holy site at Mauritius. The lake is warm and serene and full of life!

A well maintained & beautiful place. The temple is nice. I have seen people from other religions have come to experience the place.

Very quiet place
