The flag is tied in temples and is a declaration of the ten-day Cavadee festival when everybody is praying, fasting and eating vegetarian food.

His guru Agathiyar orders him to get two mountain peaks and tie them each on one side of a cavadee and bring them to him. When Idumban is bringing the mountains, he realizes one side is very high and finds Lord Muruga in disguise. He doesn\u2019t recognize the Lord and picks up a fight with him. Lord Muruga gets angry and kills him with a vel or a spear. Seeing Idumban dead, Agathiyar and his followers pray to Lord Muruga to resurrect him. They speak highly about his piousness, and that\u2019s when Lord Muruga brings him back to life. To please him, it was decided that any believer who carries a cavadee to Lord Muruga will have their wishes fulfilled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Further Read:<\/strong> <a class=\"mustread-link\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltriangle.com\/blog\/mauritius-vs-bali\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mauritius Vs Bali: Find Out Where To Head For Your Next Vacay!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Cavadee Festival in Mauritius is one of the biggest festivals in the country and is celebrated by all the Tamil Hindus who have settled there.
