Abstract

Pelinggih Dewi Sri is an important element in the practice of Hinduism in the archipelago, especially in communities with an agrarian background. This study aims to examine the existence of Pelinggih Dewi Sri, its form and accompanying symbols, religious and philosophical meanings, as well as the spiritual and social values ​​​​that Hindus obtain from the presence of Pelinggih Dewi Sri at Sambi Agung Sapto Argo Temple, Kesamben Village, Malang Regency. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach. Data collection techniques were carried out through field observations, in-depth interviews with local Hindu leaders and followers, and documentation studies as supporting data to strengthen the research findings. The results of the study indicate that the existence of Pelinggih Dewi Sri at Sambi Agung Sapto Argo Temple has a historical background that is closely related to the spiritual needs of agrarian communities in praying for soil fertility, smooth plant growth, and abundant harvests. In terms of form, structure, and symbols, this pelinggih represents cosmological and philosophical meanings that reflect the balance of the relationship between humans, nature, and Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. Religiously, the Pelinggih Dewi Sri is interpreted as a medium for worshiping Saguna Brahman in the aspect of maintaining life, which is manifested through various religious rituals and ceremonies. In addition to playing a role in various religious activities and ceremonies, the Pelinggih Dewi Sri also provides spiritual values ​​​​in the form of gratitude, ecological awareness, and inner peace for the congregation. From a social perspective, the existence of this pelinggih strengthens the values ​​​​of togetherness, mutual cooperation, and serves as a means of character education for the younger generation. Thus, the Pelinggih Dewi Sri functions not only as a place of worship, but also as a center for developing religious, social, and cultural awareness of the Hindu community of Kesamben Village.
