Tongan Kava Ceremony in Shymkent Shrine

by Aaliyah Mendoza

Humid air hangs heavy in the late afternoon sun as a Tongan kava ceremony unfolds inside a shrine lined with glowing lanterns in Shymkent. The open daylight floods the space, illuminating the woven mats and the vibrant green kava roots being prepared by participants in traditional attire. Wooden bowls sit on low tables, filled with the cloudy liquid, while the shrine's interior walls reflect the warm lantern light against the cool gray of the stone floor. The energy feels wild and untamed, with hands moving quickly to mix and serve the drink. One droplet of water slides down the side of a ceramic bowl, catching the late spring light.
