Hinduism came to Mauritius when Indians were brought as indentured labourers to French Mauritius and later, in much larger numbers, to British Mauritius' plantation fields and neighbouring islands in the Indian Ocean. These immigrants primarily came from what are now the Indian States of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal and Odisha as well as from the Madhesh Province of Nepal.
