HOLY DUCK

During a recent visit to Grand Bassin in Mauritius, I captured this duck paying its spiritual homage at the sacred lake: Ganga Talao, representing holy waters for the Hindu people living outside the famous Ganges River area of India.

This lake became holy when a priest infused water from the Ganges River into this pool of water, thereby connecting it to this famous body of water. From there, it became a special gathering place for people who want to worship the sacred Gods and Goddesses from the Hindu pantheon.

With only the animal life and tokens of blessings and prayers being able to immerse itself in these waters, I’m sure this is a Holy Duck. We were lucky enough to dip our feet into it’s healing waters while rain started pouring out around us. We were lucky in the fact that it was quite a quiet day with very few visitors to this very popular place of prayer. I could sit there and watch the waters all day long.

A truly magickal visit to a sacred place and for sure one place on the island that I will one day return to.

Yours in capturing YOU, Leonie Jordaan
