The characteristic of the local wisdom of magebeg-gebegan, therefore, this context can be used as a medium for ethnopedagogy and the internalization of socio-religious values, as it formulates a way to understand the essence of bhuana agung and bhuana alit. This tradition is not only viewed as a cultural heritage but also as a medium for social and spiritual education that thrives within the community. The purpose of this research is to analyze the magebeg-gebegan tradition from the perspective of socio-religious ethnopedagogy for the community of Tukadmungga Village, Buleleng, Bali. This study employs a qualitative method within a single case study framework. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving key informants, including Jro Mangku, Kelian Adat, the village head (Perbekel), and traditional leaders in Tukadmungga Village. Its implementation has the meaning of self-purification and the purification of nature, as well as the control of negative traits. Meanwhile, its urgency lies in its role in maintaining the harmony of life based on the concept of Tri Hita Karana, strengthening śraddhā and bhakti, fostering social solidarity, preserving local wisdom, and serving as a medium for moral and spiritual education for the people of Desa Tukadmungga. The socio-religious theory in cultural analysis views religion not only as a belief system but also as a social fact that shapes the structure, norms, relations, and identity of society. In this perspective, religion contains sacred values, symbols, and transcendent beliefs. Magebeg-gebegan in the perspective of ethnopedagogy is an educational approach based on local wisdom, culture, and traditional values of the community as learning sources. This approach also emphasizes that local culture contains noble values relevant to character education, such as: mutual cooperation, tolerance, discipline, responsibility, religiosity, love for the environment, and respect for others. Magebeg-gebegan has the meaning of being a form of Bhuta Yajña, a means of purifying oneself and nature. Additionally, it serves as a non-formal educational medium that functions to shape character, instill moral and spiritual values, and pass on local culture to the next generation.
