When I arrived at the ancient traditional religious shrine at the Tanda pits on a cool morning, it was a beehive of activity as pilgrims prayed and smoked pipes, while others chatted, cleaned or prepared meals for the day.
I paid Ushs2,000 ($0.5) for entry, and as I waited for my change and tourist receipt at the main white gate I witnessed as every newly arrived pilgrim went through the mandatory washing of hands with water mixed with herbs, at the right side of the gate.
