Temple

Maheswarnath Mandir (locally known as "grand shivala Triolet") is a Hindu temple located in the village of Triolet, Mauritius. The presiding deity of the temple is lord Shiva and his another name is Maheshwarnath(meaning the great lord). The temple was founded in 1888 by Pandit Shri Sajeebunlall Ramsoondur, who came from Calcutta. The temple is famous for its association with the first pilgrimage to Ganga Talao, the sacred lake found in the center of Mauritius. The temple is the biggest and one of the oldest of its kind on the island. (Source: wikipedia)

Did not find the board at the cache  location - but to be honest was not able to spend much time as the bus was bout to leave from the Triolet bus terminus near by.

 

Unfortunately will have to visit next time we are in Mauritius as we are already home.

Thanks fo bringing us to this cache. Laughing
