The Paramount Chief of Juaben, Juabenhene Nana Otuo Siriboe II, hosted the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, and his family at his massive estate over the week in Juaben.

The estate spans a vast area and has several buildings, including a massive mansion.

Videos of the visit showed him being welcomed by the Juabenhene and his household, receiving the king of Asanteman, who was in the company of his wife, Lady Julia Osei Tutu, and some of his children, including Nana Afia Kobi Serwaa Ampem and Nana Kwame Kyeretwie Osei Tutu.

The Juabenhene first took the king and his family through the mansion, showing them the various sections of the building.

Afterwards, they proceeded to what appeared to be a traditional Asante structure, which seemed to have caught the attention of Otumfuo and his family the most.

The structure was built using natural, local materials like mud, wood, and straw.

All the items in it were representations of Akan culture, including the three-stone hearth, called Mukyea in the Akan dialect. The rooms in the structure had traditional mats and lanterns.

Even the water in the structure was traditionally preserved, with palm fibre being used to fumigate it and keep it cold.

Lady Julia Osei Tutu could not help but take a sip of the traditionally preserved water.
