Batak villages
Batak villages are traditional communities located in the highlands of North Sumatra, Indonesia. These villages are known for their unique architecture, featuring traditional wooden houses with distinctive roofs that resemble buffalo horns. The Batak people, who inhabit these villages, have a rich cultural heritage, including traditional music, dance, and rituals.
The Batak community is divided into several sub-groups, such as Toba, Karo, and Simalungun, each with its own customs and languages. Agriculture, particularly rice farming, plays a vital role in their economy. The villages often serve as centers for social gatherings and cultural events, preserving the Batak way of life.
