Ashanti chiefs gathered for a ceremony in Ghana.

in Cross Culture2 years ago

Today, I would want to share an extraordinary beauty with my readers. Ghana seems to be one of the few nations in the world with such a rich cultural heritage. It exemplifies our ideals and customs. This is our heritage. So much emphasis is placed on the way we live as a people here. We are quite proud of our culture, not because it is beautiful, but because it teaches people about our past. Informing the world about our views and how we demonstrate them in our everyday actions.

Over the weekend, a traditional gathering was organized to commemorate a durbar action in one of Ghana's cities in the Ashanti area. The Akan are the largest ethnic group, and they continue to share more of their way of life. In such a meeting, the Akans demonstrate their beliefs and traditions in a variety of ways. Among them are the outfits they'll be wearing to the gathering. Each of these clothes has a unique name, and each of these names has its own significance and symbolism.

Each town in the Ashanti area has a chief who is in charge of the township in his or her domain. The citizens of the different towns have a great deal of respect for the chiefs who control them. This meeting was packed with chiefs and elders from the many towns in the Ashanti area, all there to assist and grace the occasion. As a result, the majority of the activities and culture expressed came from the leaders of the many communities that attended the meeting.

This event took place at Offinso, a town in the Shanti region. The Ashanti kingdom's King made an attempt to make himself accessible. At this celebration, there was nothing but a typical showcase of the Ashanti's exquisite culture. I am happy to observe how the chiefs of the towns in the Ashanti area came together at this time to offer us with such a lovely culture. This amazing culture is something I want to share with everyone on the hive blockchain. I hope you love the beauty as much as I do.

I really like the shots you picked here. I have always found the culture in Africa and places like Ghana fascinating, it also takes a lot in this day and age for people to still stick to their roots and I admire that the most.

Thanks for your admiration and support
