People watch a traditional
ceremony taking place in a large former well in the village of Ndande,
Senegal, May 19, 2013. Every year, inhabitants of the village take part
in a Sufi Muslim ceremony called Gamou-Ndande. The ceremony combines
nights of praying and chanting as well as traditionally animist
ceremonies. The well, called Kalom, was the site of historic battles in
Senegalese history. According to local historian Baye Niass, the well
dates back to the 16th century. Today there is no water in the former
well and it is used for ceremonial purposes. Niass says the well measure
36 meters in depth an 11m in diameter. Picture taken May 19, 2013.
