Temple du Colosse, Hindu temple in Saint-André, France.

Temple du Colosse is a Hindu temple in the Le Colosse district of Saint-André, dedicated to the goddess Pandialé. Its oblong plan follows South Indian models, and the polychrome decoration was made by artists brought from Madras. The tiered tower above the entrance is covered in rows of brightly painted figures in pink, blue, green, yellow and gold, with a curved crest at the top; the lower walls are pale turquoise-blue with pilasters and small niches.

Indian workers built the original temple in the 19th century near a sugar factory. The current building was completely rebuilt in 1991 by artisans from Madras.

The temple reflects the traditions of the Indian community that settled here generations ago. The worship of multiple deities shows how religious practices from across the ocean remain alive in this place.

The temple is accessible on most days and visitors should wear appropriate clothing and remove their shoes before entering the sacred spaces. It helps to check in advance if certain days are reserved for private ceremonies.

The temple only became the property of the Pandialee du Colosse association on 13 August 2012, when the deed was signed; before that it belonged to the Quartier-Français sugar company. On 14 April 2023, Tamil New Year 5124, a stele was inaugurated in the courtyard to record the acquisition.
