The town is dotted with small public shrines — at crossroads, in compound courtyards, beside the main paths — each tended by an individual family or priest and dedicated to one of the many deities of the Guin pantheon. Most are open-air constructions: a low altar of clay or concrete, the figure of the spirit modelled in earth or marked with cowrie shells, ringed with offerings of palm wine, kola nuts and small coins.
A walk through the older streets of Glidji with a local guide is the best way to see them — the guide can identify which deity is being honoured at each shrine, explain the rules around photography (some yes, some firmly no), and translate the meaning of the offerings. Ask at the royal court or at the larger guesthouses in Aného for an introduction.
