Abstract

This study aims to explore how the TikTok account Calonarang Taksu implements communication strategies to deliver Hindu religious educational content, and to assess the extent to which these contents effectively enhance the audience’s understanding and spiritual awareness. A qualitative approach using content analysis was employed to examine three purposively selected videos, each with over one million views during the period of January to March 2024. Data were gathered through direct observation and digital documentation, and analyzed using the Uses and Gratifications theoretical framework. The findings indicate that the account conveys educational messages through religious visual symbols, performance dramatization, the use of local languages, and the depiction of sacred moments in Balinese Hindu rituals. The content addresses five dimensions of audience needs: informational, emotional entertainment, personal identity, social connection, and emotional expression. Overall, the content not only entertains but also strengthens cultural identity, fosters spiritual reflection, and facilitates meaningful religious experiences in digital spaces. Therefore, TikTok can be regarded as a potential platform for contextually transforming the delivery of religious teachings in the digital era.

Abstract

This study discusses how Hindu teenagers express their cultural and religious identity through traditional clothing that they display on social media, especially Tik Tok. In today's digital era, social media has become an important place for young people to design and convey their self-image, including through visual presentations such as traditional clothing. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis of four posts from one account of a Hindu teenage girl who shows herself wearing Balinese traditional clothing. The purpose of this study is to understand the form of expressive communication that emerges from the visualization of traditional clothing styles and the symbolic meanings contained therein. This study shows that the traditional clothing styles displayed not only function as cultural preservation, but also as a medium for conveying religious values, ethnic identity, and pride in Balinese Hindu cultural heritage. Tiktok social media in this case allows the spread of these cultural messages to a wider audience by building a positive narrative about the identity of Hindu teenagers amidst the influence of cultural globalization. This study contributes to the understanding of how teenagers use social media as a tool for expressive cultural communication, as well as the importance of maintaining the continuity of traditions through digital media that are relevant to the lives of the younger generation.
