Nigeria Religion Culture Tradition
The Arugba carry symbolic statues of Osun during the annual festival in her honour in Osogbo, southwest Nigeria, August 14, 2020. The annual cultural festival around the sacred grove, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2005, draws tens of thousands of ethnic Yoruba Nigerians and others to mark the remains of the bond between humans and the river goddess, who is believed to bring divine favour and fertility.
