Mullivaikkaal Memorial

Beau Bassin Rose Hill, Mauritius

This was the third memorial built in remembrance of the Tamil Genocide. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it honours both Tamil civilians and LTTE fighters together.

In response to requests from the Mauritius Tamil Temple Federation (MTTF), the mayor of Beau Bassin-Rose Hill, Louis André Toussaint, commissioned the construction of a memorial pillar. The epitaph on the memorial reads as follows:

"THIS MEMORIAL IS DEDICATED TO THOSE 146,679 TAMILS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES INNOCENTLY AND 40,000 REPORTED LOST IN DEFENCE OF THEIR BELOVED MOTHERLAND IN SRI LANKA"

This memorial is situated within the Beau Bassin Rose Hill Municipal Council's grounds, a short distance from the mayor's office.

This was opened on 18 May 2012.
