The Akwasidae festival memorializes the time that the Ashanti Golden Stool was magically brought down from heaven.
The festival is celebrated once every six weeks on a Sunday.
Every paramount chief in Asanteman (Ashanti Kingdom) observes the Akwasidae in his own jurisdiction, however, the main event is held at the Manhyia Palace, in Kumasi.
There, the Asantehene sits in state for his subjects and other visitors to pay him homage.
