When I arrived at the ancient traditional religious shrine archaeologically known as the Tanda Pits, on a cool morning in Tanda Village in Mityana District, there was a beehive of activity as some pilgrims went about with their prayers and smoking pipes, while others were chatting, cleaning or preparing meals for the day.
I parted with Shs2,000 for my visit 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 cleansing ritual of washing their hands with water mixed with herbs at the right side of the gate.
