traditional boat. Hundreds of dancers wearing the traditional costume with bows
and arrows danced and sang along the Sentani Lake to Khalkote Beach in the
fifteen decorative traditional boats. The dancing has turned a magnet for the
visitors during the ceremony. It was unique dance. The dance was very
attractive, energetic, and powerful, further it performed in the traditional
boat on the Lake Sentani.
