The birthday of Mahatma Gandhi is observed with ceremonies at the Gandhi statue in Port Louis, and the reminder that Gandhi visited Mauritius in 1901 and encouraged the Indian community to fight for their rights. The day is a tribute to the Indian diaspora, and the ceremonies include the singing of bhajans, the reading of Gandhi's writings, and the distribution of sweets. Gandhi's visit to Mauritius was a turning point for the Indian community, and his influence led to the formation of the Arya Sabha and the fight for political representation.
