Lampetan Tradition and Umbul Tlatar of Kebonbimo Village, Boyolali

The people of Kebonbimo Village practice the appreciation of the Lampetan tradition synergistically with the existing religiosity. This can be seen from the festivity of the Lampetan tradition which is held every year. This tradition is a tradition that contains a certain set of symbols with the elements of symbolic forms that are full of meaning and function in it. Unfortunately, there are many people who have yet to understand the meaning behind the symbols in this tradition and only consider this tradition as a cultural celebration festival. Such problems lead to a reduction in the meaning of a tradition as understood by the society. This research aims to comprehensively describe the history of Umbul Tlatar and the Lampetan tradition. The research attempts to explain in detail the symbolic meaning contained in the implementation of the tradition in addition to analyzing the symbolic forms and functions in the Lampetan tradition. It is conducted as the first step to the preservation of regional culture. The research was conducted by implementing qualitative research methods, through observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The collected data were analyzed using the comparative descriptive method. The Lampetan tradition also has
values that are beneficial for the sustainability of human life, such as religious values which are basic values for humans related to devotion to God. In addition, social and cultural values are no less important for society. Both are a mirror of the human itself. The results of this study are expected to be able to provide knowledge about the form and meaning in a Lampetan tradition in Kebonbimo Village and can be used as a reference for developing further research, as well as an effort to preserve and develop the potential that exists in the area.
