Sagar Shiv Mandir is located on Goyave de Chine island, close to the mainland of Mauritius which is connected via a land bridge. The temple is primarily the abode of Lord Shiva along with other Hindu deities including Goddess Lakshmi and Hanuman. The highlight is the 108 feet tall bronze statue of Lord Shiva known as Mangal Mahadev.
The thin bridge connecting the temple to the mainland makes it easy to visit. Before that, worshippers had to wade through the water to reach the temple. Quite interestingly, there is a similar temple like the Sagar Shiv Mandir in Trinidad and Tobago known as the ‘Temple in the Sea’. The peaceful surroundings of the temple are loved by the locals and tourists alike where they can sit and contemplate while soaking in the holy vibe. One must be respectfully dressed for visiting the temple and must remove their shoes before entering.
