Abstract

This study aims to examine the "Spiritual and Social Meaning of the Bantan-Bantanan Tradition in the Negeri Agung Village Community.". Spiritually, this tradition is not merely viewed as a routine ritual, but also as a form of offering and communication with the supernatural, which the community believes can bring blessings and safety, as well as ward off disaster. Through in-depth analysis, it was discovered that bantan-bantanan reflects cosmic balance and the harmonious relationship between humans and their surroundings. Furthermore, socially, this tradition plays a crucial role in strengthening kinship ties and solidarity among residents. The preparation and implementation of bantan-bantanan often involve all members of the community, from young to old, indirectly creating a space for intense social interaction. This serves as an effective medium for maintaining social cohesion and preserving shared values. The results of this study indicate that the bantan-bantanan tradition is not simply a past ritual, but a living tradition rich in meaning, serving as a guardian of spirituality and a pillar of social cohesion for the Negeri Agung Village community.
