Ethnographic study explores Ruwat Rawat's role in sustaining Borobudur's spiritual ecosystem amid globalization, suggesting interfaith collaboration may enhance national identity.

Key Points

The Ruwat Rawat practice revitalizes Borobudur Temple's spiritual ecosystem amidst tourism globalization, enhancing community bonds.
Through 12 ritual events and 20 key informant interviews, a 40% decline in youth participation was identified before revival efforts began.
The ethnographic approach reveals three key mechanisms promoting national identity: interfaith collaboration, ecological spirituality, and digital-physical hybridity.
Community-led efforts indicate that heritage management needs a shift towards 'ritual-first' tourism to better support local cultures and youth engagement.
