As Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, approaches, cattle markets across Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation, are experiencing peak trading activity.
Just outside the capital, Jakarta, the Jonggol Cattle Market is bustling with hundreds of cattle traders serving buyers looking for sacrificial animals. Sales at this market have increased since last month as the Muslim community prepares for the celebration. This year, Eid al-Adha will fall on Friday.
