Banjar

The regency encompasses 4,668 square kilometers of land surrounding the city of Banjarmasin, including diamond mines and numerous waterways through tropical landscapes.

Prior to 1999, the regency contained Banjarbaru city, which later became an independent administrative entity following regional reorganization initiatives.

The population of 575,115 residents primarily follows Islamic traditions, with the Al-Karomah Great Mosque serving as a central religious landmark.

The regency divides into twenty districts across three geographical sections: western near Banjarmasin, central around Martapura, and the larger eastern territories.

The Lok Baintan Floating Market displays local commerce traditions, where vendors conduct trade from wooden boats along the river channels.
