‘Geet gawain’ is a traditional Bhojpuri musical ensemble that embodies the rich cultural heritage brought to Mauritius by women from the Bhojpuri belt of India.

In recognition of its cultural significance, ‘geet gawai’ was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in December 2016.
