At the beginning of the ceremony, the teenagers paint their bodies while their mothers start to build
a place called the "Osingira," a sacred room in the middle of the celebrations. Later, the senior elders
from different tribes will sit inside this place and, at different times, the boys go inside to meet .
Later in the day, the boys run around the Osingira, going faster and faster each time.
The teenagers also have to their appearance at Eunoto. Masai boys' hair is very long before
the ritual but they have to cut it off. In Masai culture, hair is an important symbol. For example, when a
baby grows into an infant, the mother cuts the child's hair and gives the child a name. At a Masai
wedding, the hair of the bride is also cut off as she becomes a woman. And so, at Eunoto, the teenage
boy's mother cuts his hair off at sunrise.
On the final day, the teenagers meet the senior elders one more time. They get this advice: "Now
you are men, use your heads and knowledge." Then, people start to travel back to their homes and
lands. The teenagers are no longer warriors. They are adult men and now they will get married and
have children. Later in life, they will be the leaders of their communities.
