Ganga Talao, The Hindu Temple In Mauritius Stock Image

As the legend goes, Shiva and his consort Parvati flew over the quiet earth aboard a strange machine made of flowers. Suddenly, they were dazzled by a beautiful island surrounded by the cobalt sea. Shiva, who bore the Ganges on the head to save the world from floods, amazed by the vision and eager to land, dropped a few drops before on his head and then in a volcanic crater which gave rise to a lake. The Hindu Temple with the large sacred lake is where the gods Vishnu and Shiva contend for the sky.
