Gorga in the tradition of the Batak tribe is the art of carving or carving which is applied to the traditional Batak Toba house (Rumah Bolon) and various art tools that will be applied using the written batik technique. There are three dominant colors in Gorga called Sitiga Bolit, namely white, red, and black. The three meanings of the Gorga color symbol are believed to be found in the figure of a woman named Boru ni raja (the king's daughter) or a Batak woman who has characteristics like a king's daughter.
This work was created to describe the role, tenacity, independence and toughness of Batak women.
