The oldest Hindu temple on the island and the only one in Europe classified as a historical monument. In 1852, the Kervéguen family built 5 of them to allow its Indian workers to practice their cult. The Pandialée temple is the last to remain. An inscription painted above the entrance door mentions the names of the owners at the time. Its frescoes are magnificent and tell the adventures of the Mahâbhârata, realized in 1873 with vegetable paintings. It can be admired from the outside; however, the interior is unfortunately not open to visitors.

Superbe! Accueil sympathique, on est invité a se déchausser et à se laver les pieds pour entrer dans l'enceinte du temple. Pas de photo à l'intérieur mais l'extérieur est déjà au top! Incontournable pour ceux qui passeraient pas Saint Louis

Dommage que l'on ne puisse pas y entrer, l'extérieur est tout simplement incroyable de par ses couleurs et ses nombreuses sculptures minutieuses
