Ritus Khaul Kyai Banyumas: Seni, Ziarah, dan Konfigurasi Identitas Keagamaan
Keywords:
khaul, ziarah, seni tradisional, identitas keagamaan, Banyumas
Abstract
The khaul rites in Banyumas are annual religious commemorations that carry spiritual, cultural, and social meanings. This study investigates how the khaul ritual serves as a space for traditional artistic expression and the articulation of local religious identity. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach with participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation, this research reveals that khaul is not merely a death commemoration but a site of intersection between normative Islam, local tradition, and aesthetic expression. Traditional arts such as tembang macapat, hadrah kentongan, and pilgrimage rituals contribute to the reproduction of a distinct religious identity: Banyumas cultural Islam. These rites also become negotiation spaces between religious purification and the preservation of local culture.
