The villagers underwent special prayers before being dipped into the river for the cleansing as depicted in the pictures.

The Eri festival/Olili-Obibia-Eri is an Ancient festival celebrated by Ezeora Kings. This remarkable festival has been observed from the ancient times on the 8th native/Igbo month of the year, Onwa-isato, in memory of Eri’s journey and subsequent settlement.
