HOME GOVERNMENT CONSULAR GENERAL ... NEWS Culture of Mauritius Geography History Culture Population Culture of Mauritius The culture of the country reflects its diverse ethnic composition. There are many religious festivals, some important ones being (in random order) Divali (the hindu festival of lights, in October), Christmas, Cavadee (a penitence festival of the south Indian tradition of hinduism, in January), Eid ul Fitr (celebrating the end of the period of fasting in Islam. As the Islamic calendar does not correspond to the Gregorian calendar, the date of its celebration in the year tends to vary. In 2003 it was celebrated in November). Sega is an indigenous musical form. As it started among slaves of African origin, it is conventionally believed to be of African origin. However, according to some observers, there is no easily found equivalent in mainland Africa to the hip-swaying style of sega dancing, and to the musical instruments used (notably the ravane, a piece of goatskin tightly drawn over a wooden hoop). Sega could therefore be of mixed origin. Culture of Mauritius In the countryside, where the population is predominantly of Indian origin, bhojpuri songs (from a rural dialect of Bihar province in India) are still popular and have been recast in modern forms.

Mauritius main page Search Essential information Mauritius is the ultimate James Bond location - a volcanic island complete with sugar barons, pearly chocolate-box shores, tropical fish, exquisite fusion food and ravishing women. And if lazing in the pool bar with a Mojito isn't your style, there's plenty to do off the luxury hotel circuit, too. The country was the original home of the dodo. Sadly, many other birds seem to be going the same way, but there are still enough to satisfy ornithologists - look out for pink parrots and echo parakeets. The island is surrounded by a coral reef and the marine life is fantastic: go snorkelling, diving or deep sea fishing, and you'll see molluscs, turtles, dolphins, whales - and hundreds of fish. For culture, try Port Louis, the capital - especially if you're looking to pick up some bargains while admiring the architecture.

Water Sports The Spa Cultural C ulture Sega No discussion of Mauritius could ever be complete without a description of the national dance. The “sega” is a back and forth foot shuffle, as it was evolved on sandy beaches by the African slaves at the end of a hard working day. The rest of the body supplies the real zest and emotive movement and when danced with passion, the sega is genuinely erotic. It’s similar to the Caribbean calypso, the Latin American salsa and all three dance forms share the same African roots. Sega parties take place at the larger hotels and it’s usually a well choreographed production. And if you’re asked to join in, get into the spirit and dance! Art Museums Festivals With all the cultural groups represented in Mauritius, scarcely a week passes that the island doesn’t host a historical, cultural or religious celebration or feast day. And the nicest part is, that visitors to the island are usually very welcome to join these celebrations. The most important festivals include: New Year Yaum un Nabi (celebrated in January) the day of death of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed.
