Abstract

The issue of waste generated from Hindu religious ceremonies is escalating and poses potential ecological risks to the environment. Ritual activities involving items such as canang sari, banten (offerings), and other ceremonial paraphernalia generate both organic and inorganic waste, yet current management practices remain traditional. This study aims to describe the dynamics of ceremonial waste management, analyze the roles of the customary community and religious leaders, and examine the resulting ecological implications. A qualitative approach utilizing descriptive methods was employed. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving village officials, customary leaders, Hindu religious figures, PHDI administrators, and the residents of Rangdu Village. The findings indicate that ceremonial waste is still perceived as possessing sacred value. Consequently, management practices have not fully taken ecological aspects into account. Furthermore, the use of inorganic materials such as plastic in rituals exacerbates the environmental impact. Religious leaders and the customary community play a crucial role in fostering ecological awareness grounded in Tri Hita Karana values. The study concludes that a cultural eco-theological approach is essential to establish ceremonial waste management practices that are sustainable and aligned with the religious values ​​of the Balinese Hindu community.

Abstract

Globalization and digital technology challenge traditional arts, positioning pupuh sinom as a culture-based medium for Hindu spiritual education and preservation. This study aims to examine the use of pupuh sinom as a medium for fostering Hindu spirituality among the Sekaa Truna Truni in Tukadmungga Village, identify the spiritual values embedded in its verses, analyze its role in strengthening spiritual understanding, and explore the challenges encountered in its implementation. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed using observations, in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature review. The data were analyzed through an interactive qualitative analysis model involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that pupuh sinom effectively promotes Hindu spirituality by internalizing the values of sraddha, bhakti, tri kaya parisudha, tat twam asi, and dharma, while simultaneously strengthening character development and preserving Balinese cultural heritage. However, its implementation is constrained by declining youth interest in traditional arts, language barriers, and limited instructional resources. This study concludes that pupuh sinom remains a relevant and sustainable medium for culture-based Hindu spiritual education and provides practical insights for strengthening youth character and preserving local cultural heritage.
