Highlights of the festival include firing of cannon shots to declare the festival open, the appearance of the traditional war boats, a re-enactment of the days where the boats served as war armory to convene warriors to the battle grounds, wrestling bouts among able young men, and a sacrifice to a crocodile, which is the Tungbo's symbol of power and authority. The people believe that no crocodile can hurt them so they revere it. Photo Credit: SaharaReporters
