Hundreds of Aguleri villagers gathered for spiritual
cleansing and prayers at the Omambala River in Anambra state to
celebrate the Eri Festival. The villagers underwent special prayers
before being dipped into the river for the cleansing as depicted in the
pictures.
The Eri festival / Olili-Obibia-Eri is an Ancient festival celebrated by Ezeora Kings. This remarkable festival has been observed from the ancient times on the 8th native/Igbo month of the year, onwa-isato, in memory of Eri’s journey and subsequent settlement.
