The Ofori Panin Fie in Kyebi the royal seat of the Akyem Monarchs, on Saturday, 14th December, is the venue where the world’s wide array of different cultures, were richly woven together in elegant colors, to depict the beauty of cultural unity in diversity.
The impressive and exciting grand durbar, that climaxed a litany of events commemorating the 20th anniversary of the enthronement of Okyehene Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, has pulled a mammoth crowd from different creed, ethnicity, and cultures, across the globe, to join in the celebration with the Great King.
It is all color, at the forecourt of the Ofori Panin Fie as traditional chiefs, seated in full regalia, under a canopy of giant multi-colored umbrellas, amidst the reverberating and pulsating sounds and rhythms from the “Fotomfrom” and “Mpintin” drums, the “Atenteben” and “Ntahra”, awaiting the entry of the august celebrant.
Earlier, Ya Na Abubakari Mahama II, the King of the Dagbon, had entered the durbar grounds riding on a horseback, amid the display of galloping horses that led his entourage.
