ISLAMIC NEW YEAR PREPARATIONS: Two women wash tauge (bean sprouts) at the banks of Ngerong River in Rengel village, Tuban regency, East Java, before they take them to market to sell at Rp 3,000 per kilogram. Demand for tauge increases every time the Ngerong resort area hosts the annual traditional Javanese ceremony Nyadran to mark the arrival of the Islamic New Year, which falls on March 15 this year.
