The festival of Maha Shivaratri is one of the most important Hindu festivals on the island, and is the largest Hindu Pilgrimage outside of India. In 1972, a ceremony bringing water from the river Ganges in India to the lake in Mauritius was conducted, recognizing the site as an important place of pilgrimage within the Hindu religion.
