Named in Wikipedia’s overview of temples dedicated to the goddess Mariamman worldwide, the Arulmigou Shri Madhur Kannanour Mariamman Thirukkovil is a Tamil Hindu temple in Port Louis, Mauritius’s capital, dedicated to Mariamman - the South Indian Devi widely venerated as a protector against disease and as a guardian goddess of Tamil diaspora communities across the Indian Ocean and beyond.
It stands distinct from the already-documented Sockalingum Meenatchee Ammen Kovil (the “Kaylasson Temple”) also located in Port Louis, reflecting the presence of more than one South Indian Devi-tradition temple in the city centre. Beyond its name and general Port Louis location, no dedicated source describing this temple’s founding, precise address, or current worship activities was located during this research pass; it is documented here only via a single-line mention in a general Wikipedia article on the Mariamman tradition.
Sources
- historical record: Cross-checked against Wikipedia's 'Mariamman' article, 'Outside India' subsection of its Temples list, which names 'Arulmigou Shri Madhur Kannanour Mariamman Thirukkovil' in Port-Louis, Mauritius as a distinct temple. No dedicated Wikipedia article for this specific temple exists; it appears only as a single-line entry in this general deity-overview article.
For review
- This temple is confirmed only via a single-line mention (name and Port Louis location) in Wikipedia's general 'Mariamman' deity article, with no founding date, address, or institutional history found this pass. It is distinct from the already-documented Sockalingum Meenatchee Ammen Kovil (Kaylasson Temple) on Nicolay Road, Port Louis, also in this directory - both are Port Louis city-centre temples associated with South Indian Devi worship, but named separately in independent sources.
