Lingga, Island regency in Riau Islands, Indonesia.

The Lingga Regency encompasses 600 islands along the equator, with Lingga Island and Singkep Island forming the main territories of this 2,250-square-kilometer region.

During World War II, the waters between Lingga Island and Sumatra provided strategic anchorage positions for the Imperial Japanese Navy near essential fuel resources.

The population of Lingga includes Malay, Bugis, and Chinese communities, with Islam representing ninety-two percent of religious practices in the territory.

Transportation to Lingga requires ferry connections from Tanjung Pinang, with vessels such as MV Batavia and MV Superjet docking at Port Jagoh after three-hour journeys.

Mount Daik presents three distinct peaks, with one appearing broken at its base, creating a formation that gave the region its name from Sanskrit origins.
