Abstract

The Ngaradinan Tradition is one of the cultural heritages of the Sundanese community that continues to be preserved by the people of Petirhilir Village, Baregbeg District, Ciamis Regency, Indonesia. This tradition is not only a customary ritual associated with the birth of a child but also embodies philosophical values that reflect the Sundanese worldview. This study aims to analyze the implementation process of the NgaradinanTradition and reveal the philosophical meanings embedded within it. The research employed a qualitative approach using a phenomenological method. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model, which consists of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the Ngaradinan Tradition represents an expression of gratitude to God, prayers for the child's safety and well-being, a medium for transmitting cultural values, and a symbol of harmonious relationships between humans and God, fellow human beings, and nature. Furthermore, the tradition embodies religious, social, mutual cooperation, responsibility, and respect for ancestors. Amid the challenges of modernization, the Ngaradinan Tradition remains relevant as a means of preserving local cultural identity and strengthening the character of the community.
