This documentary explores one of the most celebrated festivals in the Hindu Calendar - Maha Shivarathri - the great auspicious night that is dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is observed the night before the new moon in the Hindu month Phalgun. Maha Shivarathri in Mauritius investigates this uniquely Mauritian custom where thousands of Hindu's from throughout the island converge on Ganga Taloa, a sacred lake, and offers a spectacular insight of Hindu culture and worship outside of India. The festival is one of the most important Hindu festivals on the island of Mauritius and is the largest Hindu pilgrimage outside of India.
