On his Facebook page, Pravind Jugnauth wrote: “It is in contemplation and spirituality that I am participating in the Mukteswar Mandir consecration ceremony in Bois Marchand. I pay tribute to the Brihad Purohit Sangh Mauritius for its contribution to the preservation of our tradition.
The people of the region will now be able to visit the Mukteshwar Mandir now that the rituals have been completed on Sunday. This project was realized by the Brihad Purohit Sangh gathering pandits from all over the country. The objective is to promote and enhance the teachings of the sacred texts.
