Kir Abdulai Zakari Bayire of Gomoa Nyanyano will on Saturday lead Bissas to a traditional Sallah Durbar at Kakraba Zion Park as the Nyanyano Council of Tribal Chiefs hosts the colourful programme to mark the 2022 Eid Fitr Celebration.
It is a colourful exposition of culture of the various ethnic groups in the country, as Chiefs dress in their special attire designed for ceremonies while riding around in respect of the festival.
It comes just two weeks after the Kasoa Council of Tribal Chiefs held a similar Durbar for the same purpose on the same venue.
About 30 Chiefs from the Central Regional Bissa Council are expected to rally behind Kir Bayiri as he leads the members of the fraternity, family, horses, bodyguards and servants in a parade to exhibit the rich Bissa culture on Saturday.
He has led Bissas at the Central Regional surbub for the past five years and hold a sway in the Gomoa Nyanyano Council.
The centuries long tradition of the Sallah durbar is an annual festival celebrated in several Muslim or Zongo communities to climax the Eidul Fitr celebration.
It is an Eid UL Fitr celebration and culminates with reception of chiefs and their people on one big venue with a touch of tradition from their respective camps.
From his Palace at Nyanyano point 4, Kir Bayiri and his entourage are expected to mount their horses and accompanied with Bissa songs in a procession to the Zion Park.
It is the second time the Zion Park is hosting another Eid UL Fitr Durbar in a matter of weeks after the Council of Tribal Chiefs of Kasoa marked it’s own on the 14th of May.
Eid UL Fitr Durbar has evolved over the years, and now held in almost all Muslim or Zongo communities in the country.
It is a religious and equestrian celebration that has gained tourist attraction and offers the opportunity for unity and togetherness among ethnic groups.
Muslims across the world marked the Eid UL Fitr on the 2nd of May but the Gomoa Nyanyano Durbar comes in as feat to end the month.
