This study aims to analyze patterns of social interaction between Muslims and Hindus in fostering harmony, the role of local traditions as a medium for social integration, and the factors that support and hinder harmonious community relations in East Loloan, Jembrana Regency, Bali. This study employs a qualitative approach using the case study method. The results indicate that patterns of social interaction between Muslims and Hindus develop through associative social processes involving cooperation, accommodation, and tolerance in daily life. Local traditions such as Ngejot and gotong royong serve as spaces for social interaction that strengthen interfaith solidarity. Factors supporting interfaith harmony include a shared historical consciousness, the roles of religious and traditional leaders, and intensive social communication, while inhibiting factors include the dynamics of the younger generation, the influence of social media, and social change. This study demonstrates that interfaith harmony in East Loloan is shaped through sustained social interaction supported by local cultural values.
