Lamane Jegan Joof (or Lamane Djigan Diouf), was a Serer lamane who according to Serer tradition founded the Serer village of Tukar now part of present-day Senegal. The Raan festival (a major event in the Serer religious calendar) takes place each year at Tukar, two weeks after the appearance of the new moon in April.
