I went down a little rabbit hole this morning after walking past the beautiful orange Nandi Flame Trees here in Mauritius. šŗ![]()
I always thought āNandiā might be connected to the Hindu Nandi linked to Shiva, especially in multicultural Mauritius. But it turns out the tree itself, the African Tulip Tree, has African origins, and the name āNandiā also appears across African history and cultures - including Queen Nandi, the mother of King Shaka Zulu.![]()
Whatās fascinating is that in both African and Sanskrit traditions, the word Nandi carries meanings connected to joy, pleasantness, or happiness⦠even though the cultures developed separately.![]()
Mauritius really is one of those places where African, Indian and island histories all seem to overlap in unexpected ways.
