(The Mauritius Andhra Maha Sabha)
The Telugus came to Mauritius in the 19th Century from the southern part of India, particularly from the following regions- Badraachalam, kaakinaada, Chittoor, Madras, Simhaachalam and Vishakhapatnam.
As days passed the Telugus realised that the need of a Telugu sabha, a seat where they could meet and discuss their social and economic welfare and educational advancement was keenly felt.
In the venue itself there is a traditional temple called the Chinna Tirupati Shri Venkateshwara Aalayam. Everyday morning and afternoon prayers are performed by an Indian priest employed by the Mauritius Andhra Maha Sabha itself. Moreover without forgetting that the monthly kalyaanam too is held in the temple.
