hello friends

This is Rithika sharma from abc news reporting the strange ritual practiced by the virgin women of  Namuana .The village is all on the shores .The sun is blazing and shore is all crowded with holidaymakers and tourists. All are eagerly waiting to see the turtle calling. Now I can see a group of ladies donned in traditional costumes . all of them wear a strange tattoo  on the face . They are holding clubs and are heading to the shore.  There is a loud  sound .Yes its the horn signalling the start of the chant.. the ladies are chanting a strange song and the men  are bowing down on the sand beaches.The ritual has an interesting legend  .Wait let me ask one of the local man about it. Now i can see turtles rising to the shores lying on the sandy beaches.They are very big ones . The story as collected  from the local people says that the turtles are the descendants of their beautiful princess and her daughter who were turned to turtles when they were kidnapped by the fisherman of Nabakelavu, a neighboring village. Here have closer look at it. thankyou
