Mauritius VP invites Todas to showcase culture

Overwhelmed by the culture of the Toda community in Nilgiris district, Mauritius vice-president Paramashivam Pillay Vyapoory on Monday invited some of them to visit his country to showcase their living style. 

Vyapoory, who visited major tourist spots in the district, said during a stopover at a Toda village that he was very impressed by the lifestyle of the population. “Their art of embroidery, hairstyle and dance were a treat to the eyes and I wanted to take these traditions and culture to my country,” he said
