Description and curator notes
Mauritius’s official inventory includes a named documentary entry on “Prayer of Goddess Kali—Jatra” among the country’s intangible heritage practices. The section identifies the Mauritian Marathi community, the island locations, the Kali May / Kalimay shrine setting, participants and ritual features. The entire governmental inventory opens as a document and its Kali section appears in the original PDF; the entry must be described as a section within a broader inventory rather than an independently issued book.
