  • The Immigration Depot in Mauritius (Hindi: Aapravasi Ghat) is a crumbling complex of buildings in Port Louis, which has scarce remains of the island's first facility to receive indentured laborers from India.

  • It constitute 68 percent of Mauritius' population.

  • The 2006 session of the World Heritage Committee, however, overruled the expert recommendation and inscribed the patrimony on the World Heritage List as "the site where the modern indentured labour diaspora began".
