BAVILA ROYAL CORONATION
As one of the seven traditional priests
takes the horn of the buffalo
and fills anointing oil in it.
other priests surround the crown prince
while making some incantations
to heavenly God called "Tata Leeza" in Kivila.
special oil is poured
on the crown prince's head
as prophet Elisha sent
a young prophet to anoint
captain Jehu to be the next king.
The traditional high priest confirms
a new king with power and authority of Tata Leeza
and put the traditional crown on his head.
few high traditional officials witness
the final process before placing the new king
on a special traditional stretcher in the royal forest.
It is time to carry the new king from the royal forest
to present him to his people of different places.
Many people praise in certain streets
when the new king is carried
on a stretcher by special men.
