Grand Durbar
On Saturday there is grand durbar to climax the celebration of the year’s Bakatue Festival. A procession begins from the Omanhen’s palace to the forecourt of the Elmina Castle. The procession is led by the Asafo companies and stool bearers. There is a lot of pump and pageantry by the chief’s, each exhibiting their skill in dance. The rhythmic hand gestures go with the loud beating of royal drums and firing of muskets it is indeed a sight to behold.
