📖 Auszug aus dem Wikipedia-Artikel
The Dipo ceremony is one of the most popular puberty rites and practices in Ghana. It is one of the most attended events in the country, attracting huge numbers of tourists. The rite is performed by the people of Odumase Krobo and Shai areas in the Eastern Region of Ghana. A priestess known as Klowεki instituted the Dipo puberty rite. The rite is performed in April every year for girls between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. It is used to usher virgin girls into puberty or womanhood. It is performed for girls to show that they are ready for marriage and to cleanse them spiritually. The Dipo rite serves as a symbol of cultural heritage and a means to preserve the traditions and values of the Krobo people.
