Historical Connections in Nearby Gokoola

In nearby Gokoola, the Hindu temple Shivala was built in 1867 and is described as the first temple in Mauritius. This historical connection broadens the picture beyond the temple addresses in Amitié. Gokoola offers a distinct focus for travellers who want to include religious history in their plans.

Another historical connection to Gokoola concerns indentured labourers from North India: in 1867, they established their first place of worship there. This episode draws attention to the people behind the place of worship, while the history of Shivala highlights its construction and its status as the first temple in Mauritius. Both connections date to the same year but emphasise different things: temple construction and its status on the one hand, and indentured labourers and their first place of worship on the other.
