A Celebration of Heritage, Purity and Honour

The Traditional Stool Cleaning Rites

Some moments are more than photographs; they are expressions of heritage, identity and the enduring spirit of a people.

These photographs capture Togbe Edzeani V, Dufia of Fodome Amele and Divisional Chief of the Fodome Amele Traditional Area, during the traditional Stool Cleaning Rites, a cherished custom passed down through generations.

The occasion was honoured by the presence of His Royal Majesty, Togbega Gbedegbleme Akpatsa II, President of the Fodome Traditional Council, alongside esteemed elders and distinguished chiefs. Their presence reflected the unity, dignity and continuity of the Fodome traditional institution.

The occasion offered a meaningful reflection of Ewe heritage, tradition, spirituality, unity and the sacred responsibilities associated with traditional leadership.
