Sacred Crocodile Ponds, Paga, Bolgatanga, Ghana

Language
The local people are called Kasena, and speak Kasem, which is a Gur branch of the Niger–Congo language family. There is an oral tradition that the founder of the town, Navee, when searching for a desirable place to settle, exclaimed 'Ayipaga' which means 'My eye is fixed on this land'. The place came to be called by that name, which in due course was shortened to 'Paga'.
