He blesses his daughter only by spitting on her face. It may sound strange to you to hear this, but it is true that this is the way of blessing these people. Along with this, the people of these tribes also perform many other rituals, which is surprising.

Such a tradition is rarely seen anywhere in India. They perform this ritual with their daughter on the wedding day. In the customs of Maasai, this is the only way to bid farewell to their loved one or to express love and they spit on their family members. It is not that the person on whom he spit gets upset or feels bad, but he is also happy.
