Tamil-Seychellois are people of Southern Indian origins, predominantly from a Tamil background, living in the island nation of Seychelles.
Tamil immigrants arrived in Seychelles as early as 1770, and were among the first settlers to the originally sparsely inhabited island nation.
The organization of the Seychelles Hindu Council, national celebration of the Deepavali festival and the setting up of a crematorium with government support are events worthy of note.
In addition, icons of Murugan, Nadarajah, Durga, Sreenivasa Perumal, Bairava and Chandekeswarar are enshrined in the inner mandapam of the temple.
The Pongal festival in January brings scholars from Tamil Nadu for speeches and exhibits and local international cultural performances.
