<![CDATA[The Adus Nggawan ritual is still maintained and carried out until now for generations by the people of Kebomlati Village. This study aims to review the Adus Nggawan ritual for babies aged seven months to two years in the Bengawan Solo river from the symbolic lexicon found. The study method used is qualitative with an ethnographic approach. The study data were obtained from informants from Kebomlati village, Tuban who performed the Adus Nggawan ritual. Data collection techniques used observation, documentation, and structured interviews and literature study. Data analysis using the agih method was used to analyse the meaning of the lexicon used in the Adus Nggawan ritual procession, namely the stages of recording data, sorting data, classifying then analysing data and drawing conclusions. To check the validity of the findings, source triangulation technique was used. The results of this study found 1) the existence of lexical and cultural meanings that arise from twelve lexicons as the cultural identity of the Adus Nggawan ritual 2) the Adus Nggawan ritual contains local wisdom values and has the potential to become a form of culture-based disaster mitigation which is reflected in local knowledge in the form of harmony and toleration values as well as understanding the value of trust and positive thinking. Local wisdom in the form of the value of commitment and self-control and local genius as a form of culture-based mitigation is an appeal not to approach the river for safety so that the Adus Nggawan ritual reminds the importance of maintaining harmonious relationships between humans, nature and the creator.]]>
