Manavir Swamy Statue

4.6(20 reviews)

About

Found on Mauritius, Manavir Swamy Statue stands along Bois Cheri Road in the island's southern interior. Reaching it from Port Louis, Grand Baie, Flic en Flac, Pereybère, Beau-Vallon, Le Morne, Belle Mare or Mahébourg means a drive, and the route rewards travellers with a quieter part of the island.

As an artwork, the statue is a roadside landmark rather than an indoor attraction. Visitors have given it a 4.6 out of 5 rating from 20 reviews, a strong signal for a monument of this kind. It is known for its depiction of Swamy and its position beside the road through the Bois Cheri area.

First-time visitors should treat it as a brief stop, since it is viewed from the roadside rather than entered. The surrounding south-central region is hill country, and Bois Cheri Road links the tea-growing interior with the coast.

Mauritian Creole is the most widely spoken language, and Rodrigues has its own related Creole, so a few words go a long way. Sega music and dance, led by the ravanne drum, are traditional on both Mauritius and Rodrigues, and the statue sits within reach of the island's main towns for anyone tracing its cultural landmarks.
