Puberty Rites called Dipo among the Krobos is a very prominent event which has been carried out for years despite the influences of education, modernization and missionization. The practice is held very strongly by the Krobos and it is ensured that every female in the tribe undergoes the rites. The rites are held every year between the months of April and May. Several girls partake in this event which lasts for a period of four days during which they spend most of their time in the Dipo house where the rites take place.
