- Abstract
Religious intolerance and conflict in Indonesia is a complex and ongoing issue, even though this country is known as a place that protects differences. This is why harmonization or harmony between religious communities is very important to maintain social stability and create a peaceful environment. Interestingly, this harmonization between religious communities has been embedded since ancient times, which can be proven through the temples inherited from traditional kingdoms, one of which is Surowono Temple. This research aims to examine the value of harmonization between Hinduism and Buddhism contained in the reliefs of Surowono Temple. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach that adopts a constructivist research strategy. Data was collected through interviews, observation, and documentation techniques. The value of harmonization at Surowono Temple is expressed in the Hindu-style reliefs, namely Arjunawiwaha and Sri Tanjung, as well as the Buddhist-style reliefs found in the depiction of the Bubuksah Gagang Aking relief. This indicates that there is interaction between the two religions in one temple, which shows that harmony can exist. Even though there are differences in beliefs, both can still live side by side and implement their respective concepts.
