Why does Shiva have a blue neck? Why should lingam be constantly watered? Why is DE Ganesh's right defense broken? … Maha Shivaratree, Cavadee, Ganesh Chaturti, Ganga Snan, Govinden? … What are we celebrating on the occasion DE these festivals? Hindu religion, Tamil religion? What impact on Mauritian society today?
