                          About Public Holidays in Mauritius

                          Mauritius's calendar reflects one of the world's most religiously diverse populations: Diwali, Eid al-Fitr, Chinese Spring Festival, Thaipoosam Cavadee, and Christian holidays are all officially recognized as public holidays in the same national calendar, an unusually broad spread of traditions for a single country's official list.
