Kpokpoi sprinkling marks Homowo celebration

The Ga State kicked off the 200th Homowo festivities at the heart of Accra, last Saturday, as families, individuals and guests joined the traditional rulership to mark one of the enduring traditional celebrations in the country.

As custom demands, by afternoon, the Ga Mantse, Nii Tackie Teiko Tsuru, who performed the sacred kpokpoi sprinkling ritual at selected clan houses, was received at a special traditional setting.

Last Saturday was dedicated to the sprinkling of kpokpoi, which is a particularly important ritual in the Homowo cycle and takes precedence in the traditional observance.
