It’s ironic that a place of prayer would carry the name Hell’s Kitchen but the name is a reference to temperature-which rises to about 50 degrees Celsius-and nothing to do with the spiritual. The site itself is a visual wonder, a multi-color canyon that changes tint depending on the angle of the light. There are two origin stories for this place called Nyari which means place of worship in the local language. The first is that the physical depression was formed by time, rain and wind. The second one is the story that goes back hundreds. There used to be a settlement of the Wada community on site. The community kept a lot of animals especially goats, sheep and cattle. These animals produced so much milk that the residents used to bathe in milk. This annoyed the gods who crushed the entire settlement and sunk it into the ground. The red hue of the canyon is the blood of those who sunk and the white hue is the milk. The Kaya community consider this a holy site and pray here twice in a year. On the first occasion they come to offer sacrifices for a bountiful harvest and then they return 9 months later with sacrifices of thanksgiving.
