Mauritius and Reunion 2020

In 2020, a cultural journey to Réunion Island and Mauritius provided an exploration of the religious, historical, and natural aspects of these two Indian Ocean islands. In Mauritius, the focus was on the Cavadee in Port Louis, a significant celebration for the Tamil community, characterized by devotional processions and offering rituals. This festival provided insight into the importance of Hindu traditions within Mauritian culture. The only images captured in Mauritius document this ceremony.

The itinerary on Réunion Island was more extensive, featuring visits to various religious buildings, including Hindu temples, Christian churches, and mosques, reflecting the island’s spiritual diversity. The visit to the museum of slavery also provided an immersion into Réunion’s history, tracing the struggles and social evolution of the island. This journey around Réunion also highlighted its natural sites, with spectacular landscapes such as the Piton de la Fournaise, the Cirque de Cilaos, and the Salazie waterfalls.

This 2020 journey to Réunion Island and Mauritius offered insights into the cultural and spiritual richness of this region, along with an appreciation of the diverse landscapes and religious practices that coexist there.
