Culture and education

Discover an important part of Reunionese culture by visiting this Tamil temple! The Tamil religion is an integral part of the history of Reunion Island and as you walk around the island you can see different temples. The only temple allowing travelers to enter its enclosure is the Maryen Peroumal temple. You will join your guide on site and dive directly into a universe of worship and beliefs in this family and associative temple. You will learn about the philosophy of Tamil culture as well as the history of ancestral deities and rites from your guide, a temple member who will make you live a rich and rare moment. In order to respect this sacred place, it is advisable to do a day of Lent the day before the visit: no meat or products from the animal, eat only vegetables and starchy foods (rice, grains...). Indeed, any practitioner wishing to come to the temple to pray or to enter the temple grounds, must do a Lent of a few days. This day of Lent allows visitors to immerse themselves in this experience and to fully live this privileged moment. This 2-hour tour will allow you to immerse yourself in Tamil culture.
