Temple du Colosse, Hindu temple in Saint-André, France.
The Temple du Colosse features multiple sections dedicated to different deities, including Pandialé, Marliemen, Soulien, and the goddess Karly.
Indian workers constructed the original temple near a sugar factory in the 19th century, with the current structure rebuilt in 1991 by artisans from Madras.
The temple holds annual ceremonies throughout the year, including a January 1st celebration for goddess Pandialé and festivals for Mariamen in May.
Visitors can join guided tours at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM from Monday to Saturday, with admission fees of €12 for adults and €6 for children.
The January ceremony involves participants walking across fire after completing a 20-day vegan fast as part of their spiritual practice.
