September 1959 - Gods Of War - The Festival is devoted

September 1959 - Gods Of War - The Festival is devoted also to bringing rain. Here the chied priest performs a rite to open up the heavens. Krobos pay homage to their Gods Of War. Every year both the Yilo and Manya Krobos of Ghana hold festivals to re-dedicate themselves to their war gods. The ceremony dates back to the days when the Krobos had to defend themselves against tribes which invaded their land. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
