| Although the Telegus are Hindu and in a way are part of the Hindu majority, like the Tamils, their traditions, religious practices, and linguistic heritage set them apart as a unique group. In 1930, Telegu leaders created the Mauritus Andhra Sabha to provide cohesive leadership to the Telegu community. This organization was restructured and renamed in 1946 as the Mauritius Andhra Maha Sabha. This is the principle authority for administering funds to the Telegu community and oversees 85 branches, including 50 Telegu temples, as well as several active youth groups. The Mauritius Andhra Maha Sabha is pictured here and contains a traditional Telegu temple as part of the complex. |
