Bodhinatha and Shanmuganathaswami send some photos of their visit to the Spiritual Park of Mauritius

Each first Sunday of the month is a homa at the Spiritual Park of Mauritius at La Pointe, attended by thousands of devotees. Panchaganapati is donned with dozens of garlands and flowers.

Devotees prepare garlands.

Thousands of prayers are burned in the homa. Devotees give testimony of how their prayers are answered.
