A compact open-air Batak court carved from volcanic stone — carved chairs, stocks and ritual reliefs set against Samosir’s lush hills. Photograph intimate architectural details, cultural portrait moments with guides, and context shots showing the island landscape. Visit early morning or late afternoon for soft light and fewer tourists. Site is a short walk from the road with basic parking; small entry fee and modest dress respectful of local customs.
