San Miguel de Allende, Mexico (13-07-2008 - 16:49:03)
Panorama of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico (state, Guanajuato)San Miguel de Allende is the seat of the municipality of Allende, Guanajuato, Mexico. Nestled high in the cool hills of the Mexican altiplano, in the eastern part of Guanajuato in Mexico's mountainous bajío region, San Miguel De Allende is one the hippest, busiest, most charming towns in Mexico. San Miguel de Allende retains a rich colonial charm with its cobblestone streets and beautiful Spanish colonial mansions, many of which have been restored to their former splendor.

Originally known as San Miguel El Grande, the town was founded by a Franciscan monk named Fray Juan de San Miguel in 1542. It was an important stop over on the Antigua Camino Real, part of the silver route from Zacatecas.

High season runs from December 15 to April 1, when the days are clear and sunny, and nights are cool. April through August is low season, with hotter days in the spring and rain in the summer. The rainy season in San Miguel de Allende begins the beginning of June and generally lasts through the middle of October.

Main Square, San Miguel de AllendeSan Miguel de Allende is world famous for its colonial architecture, and large expatriate population, which estimates number from 8,500 - 10,000. San Miguel de Allende has become an attractive tourist destination for wealthy Mexico City residents and has a large American and Canadian expatriate community comprised primarily of retirees.

During the final week of July, San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato are co-hosts to the Expresión en Corto International Film Festival, Mexico's largest competitive film festival and the most prestigious of its kind in Latin America. The internationally renowned festival is free to the public and screens over 400 films from 10am until 4am each day in 16 venues, which include such unusual locations as San Miguel's Jardín Principal (or main square), the subterranean streets and tunnels of Guanajuato, the Guanajuato Mummy Museum and both city's Municipal graveyards (Panteónes).

Ganga Talao, Mauritius (02-07-2008 - 18:56:13)
Hindu Shrine at Ganga Talao or Grand Bassin, lake in the district of Savanne, MauritiusOn the island of Mauritius, officially the Republic of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of the African continent, about 900 kilometres east of Madagascar, Maha Shivratri is a very important festival and public holiday.

For the Mauritian Hindu, a pilgrimage to the volcanic sacred lake of Grand Bassin is a spiritual obligation his family fulfills every year on Maha Shivratri. This the religious place in Mauritius where Supreme God Shiva is most worshipped.

In 1897, Shri Jhummon Giri Gosagne, a "pujari" (priest) from the North of the island, had a vision of a sacred lake in the southern jungles. The following year, the priest and a group of followers trekked to find the lake, the Grand Bassin or Ganga Talao, which his vision described as related to the river Ganges. Every year since then, on the occasion of Maha Shivaratri, pilgrims from all over the island walk to the Ganga Talao lake, to collect its water to offer to Lord Shiva.

The 108 feet statue of Lord Shiva (Shiva Statue) at Ganga Talao or Grand Bassin, Mauritius Island. The Shiva Statue was inaugurated in 2007 and the 'Sthapan' was done during the Maha Shivratri period of 2008.Ganga Talao or Grand Bassin is a lake situated in a secluded mountain area in the district of Savanne, deep in the heart of Mauritius. It is about 1800 feet above sea level. It is considered the most sacred Hindu place in Mauritius, according to Hindu mythology.

There is a temple dedicated to Lord Shiva (Sanskrit: शिव) and other Gods including Hanuman (हनुमत्), Lakshmi (लक्ष्मी), and others along the Grand Bassin, with a 108 feet Shiva Statue inaugurated in 2007 (the highest known statue in Mauritius).
