Many people, made up of family members and well-wishers, joined the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, in a restricted gathering to celebrate his 71st birthday at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on Thursday.
Others in white-dominant clothes, were restricted to the outer gate in adherence to the COVID-19 safety protocols.
Attired in a multi-coloured kente cloth and a complementing face mask, Otumfuo Osei Tutu sat in state at his residence within the palace to receive his guests.
He did not speak, but looked on as he was entertained by the display of Asante culture through the drum beats of the fontomfrom, and the adowa dance steps of both the young and old, male and female.
