Durbar is an annual festival that takes place in the North of Nigeria after eid Mubarak, Eid el Kabir and Eid el Fitri, similar to Ojude Oba that takes place after Eid el Fitri in Ijebu Ode. My explanation sounds simple, but experiencing it in person is a once in a lifetime experience that everyone in Nigeria should take the time out to do. Fun fact, the word Durbar is of Persian origins and it means the court of a native ruler. Once the emir was seated, different tribes on horses started to present themselves to pay respects to the emir. As the different tribes came in to pay their respect, many moved to different corners of the open yard and continued showcasing their art; there was never a dull moment.
