Tivaouane is the religious centre of the Senegalese Tidjane brotherhood. It is from here that at the end of the 19th century El-Hadj Malick Sy extended his influence over most of Senegal, with the exception of Fouta Toro. There is the most important mosque for those who are under the obedience of Fez. The great annual gathering of this brotherhood is the Gamou, the anniversary of the birth of the prophet Mohamed. For the occasion, pilgrims flock in hundreds of thousands on the road to Tivaouane. This great pilgrimage does not take place every year on the same date on the Gregorian calendar, since it is part of the Muslim calendar.
