A Queen Mother has fallen from a palanquin during the ongoing Mozama Festival at Gomoa Tarkwa in Ghana’s Central Region.
The incident occurred as chiefs and queen mothers gathered at the festival grounds to participate in the colourful traditional celebrations and showcase the cultural heritage of the community.
As part of the festivities, several traditional leaders were carried on palanquins while dancing and interacting with the crowd. The procession attracted a large number of spectators who had gathered to enjoy the celebrations.
