Ganga Talao, also known as Grand Bassin, is a sacred crater lake situated in the Savanne district of Mauritius. This serene and picturesque lake is one of the most important Hindu pilgrimage sites outside of India. Surrounded by lush green hills and a tranquil atmosphere, Ganga Talao is believed to be filled with holy water from the River Ganges in India. Every year, during the Maha Shivaratri festival, thousands of devotees make a pilgrimage to the lake to pay homage to Lord Shiva.
