In Dormaa Ahenkro the festival begins with an evening torchlight procession from the palace to the house where the sacred stools are kept.
The highest ranking official chooses three logs to begin the fire, which is then used for cooking a ritual meal.
Later in the day an even grander procession carries the ancestral stools to a nearby body of water for ritual purification.
Then the final day of the festival is marked by joyous dancing, music, and feasts on the palace grounds.
