LAKE TOBA X WONDERFUL INDONESIA 

A Comforting Escapade
Toba is a place to sit back, relax and absorb some beautiful pristine scenery. As you sit and take in the view of the picturesque mountains set against the cool clear lake, you will feel the worries of the world melt away. As the lake sits 900 meters above sea level, therefore the climate here is cooler which gives a well-needed break from the heat, humidity, and pollution of the city.

Batak tribe is widely known for its festive culture. Among others, Tor-Tor Dance is considered to be the most elegant one. This traditional dance is usually performed in celebrations such as harvest time or a wedding ceremony. However, according to history, Tor-Tor Dance is used in a ritual to invoke spirits and ‘walk’ them into the stone statues, which were erected as a symbol of the ancestors.

Also, there is a wooden puppet called Sigale-gale, which has become a tourist attraction on Samosir Island because of the mystical value within the myth and belief surrounding the puppet itself. The locals believe that Sigale-gale can wail and dance by itself without music. Some also say that Sigale-gale can only be placed in a coffin. This statue is also commonly used in family death ceremonies in the Samosir area because the Sigale-gale dance is believed by local residents to deliver the spirit of the deceased to the afterlife. wonderfulindonesia pesona.indonesia kemenparekraf.ri
