Abstract

This study is based on the phenomenon of people
who are still carrying out the Ngumbah keris ritual by Javanese
people in the city of Tanjungbalai which they are a Muslim. The
Ngumbah Keris ritual is one of the syncretism of religion in the
ritual. It can be found elements of Hinduism and Buddhism as
well as Animism and Dynamism. This paper aims to describe the
ritual ngumbah keris performed by the Javanese community in
Tanjungbalai. The implementation of this ritual is carried out by
Javanese people who are in fact Muslim. The mixing of culture
and belief makes this sacred ritual. And what is behind Javanese
society still maintains the Ngumbah Keris ritual. This research
method is qualitative using an ethnographic approach data
collected using direct observation and in-depth interviews. The
results of this study illustrate that the ritual kerumbah keris is
done to reject reinforcements and calamities. This Javanese
community also believes that by carrying out rituals that are in
accordance with the inherited tradition, it can also provide
healing to the culprit. This activity is a spiritual activity that must
be done if the community is affected by a disaster or disease.
