Found near the Osumi
Canyons, 800m away from the village of Bagazi, there is a hollow cavity
with a length of 7-8m and a diameter of around 2m. This place has a
special history connected to an old tale. The tale goes like this: A
bride forced to abide by the old traditions was forced to marry against
her will. The bride’s inlaws were returning with her to their village,
but when they arrived, the bride said to them “you are taking me to this
man against my will” but her inlaws didn’t answer. Therefore, the bride
decided to create a plan to escape. Praying to God while looking at the
Canyons she said “Open, o rock, to save me from my anguish” The rock
listened and before her appeared a hole or “cavity”. The bride threw
herself from her horse and hid inside the hole. Her inlaws returned to
the village without her.
Later, this place was called the Bride’s hole and was visited by new
brides that wanted to have children. They would enter the hole with
their clothes on inside out. Inside the hole they would undress and then
put their clothes on properly. They would then return to their homes,
quieted, knowing that their wish for a child would be granted.
