Culture
Mauritius has a cosmopolitan culture encompassing the blending of several cultures. Co-existence among Mauritians of Indian, African, European and Chinese ancestry has led to a sharing of cultures and values, a collective participation in festivals and increased understanding between people of different backgrounds. The diversity and plurality is expressed through various ways such as literature, dance, music, local crafts, religion, and tradition. Mauritius is today a unique melting pot of peoples, languages and cultures.
