Traditional Hawan Daushe Durbar is usually observed a day after the Eid el Fitr celebration and Eid-el-Kabir day which sees the Emir riding on horseback receiving homage from all the district heads in the emirate.
On June 5, during the Eid-el-Fitr celebration, the governor cancelled the annual traditional Sallah durbar, Hawan Nassarawa, citing security reasons.
