Festivals of Mauritius

Mauritius, being a multicultural and multireligious society, celebrates holidays and festivals of various faiths. These colourful and happy festivals bind the Mauritian population across various religions in a unique way and provide a spectacle that cannot be experienced anywhere else in the world. Mauritius is surely the only country in the world where Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Chinese and Creoles co-exist in peace and celebrate several religious festivals together.

There is an underlying similarity in many of the festivals as are the stark differences in the styles and forms of celebrations observed by different religions. What is unfailingly common and the joyous reason to celebrate is the various gastronomic and aesthetic delights that mark all such celebrations. Anand Sweets’ introduces a special section devoted to the various festivals of Mauritius, which is a humble effort to unravel the mythological tales behind many of the popular festivals, unrestricted by any one religion or belief.

Our beautiful trays and gift boxes are widely appreciated in ceremonies and special occasions such as Weddings, Mehendi, Tilak, Fiançailles, Birthdays, Divali or as corporate gifts.
