Christian residents in Muslim-majority Indonesia’s remote Lake Toba region have launched a new festival celebrating pigs that they say is a response to efforts to promote halal tourism in the area.
The festival features competitions in barbecuing, pig calling and pig catching as well as live music and other entertainment that organizers say are parts of the culture of the community that lives in the area. (AP Photo/Binsar Bakkara)
