The development of globalization and information technology demands that Hindu Religious Education present contextual learning by integrating religious, ecological, and character education values based on local wisdom. The Kasada Ceremony in the Tengger Hindu community has the potential as a learning resource, but its utilization in formal learning has not been optimal. This study aims to analyze the religious, ecological, and character education values in the Kasada ceremony and formulate the Kasada ethnopedagogy model as an innovation in Hindu Religious Education learning. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design in Ngadisari Village, Probolinggo Regency, East Java. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 informants, participatory observation, and documentation, then analyzed through data condensation, data presentation, and drawing and verifying conclusions. The results show that the Kasada ceremony contains religious values in the form of śraddhā, bhakti, yajña, and gratitude; ecological values in the form of respect for nature, environmental preservation, and ecological responsibility; and character values in the form of mutual cooperation, discipline, responsibility, tolerance, solidarity, and respect for ancestral traditions. The involvement of the younger generation in the Kasada series demonstrates that tradition serves as a space for experiential learning that contextualizes the values of Tri Hita Karana. These findings suggest that Kasada can be developed as a living curriculum that connects cultural experiences with Hindu Religious Education learning. The Kasada Ethnopedagogy model has the potential to strengthen students' religiosity, ecological awareness, character, and cultural identity. Thus, the integration of Kasada into learning is a contextual, holistic, and relevant innovation based on local wisdom that is relevant to the needs of 21st-century education.
