The seven-day Gaani festival takes place in Nikki in December. Initially animist, its rites are immutable. The Bariba king of Nikki receives gifts from all the chiefs in his kingdom, as well as from the other Bariba kings of Kouandé, Kandi and Banikoara, who show him their respect and even allegiance. The Gnon Kogui, a respectable woman, enthrones the young princes by shaving their heads and blessing them. During the festival, the royal attributes, sacred drums and copper trumpets, accompany the famous Bariba cavalry.
