Abstract

Objective of the study is to reveal the condition of Kudus Minaret as a social text and narrative of harmony between Javanese culture, Hinduism, and Islamism in rural Java. The study was conducted using a qualitative framework with a phenomenological design. The data source came from community leaders, cultural figures, and historical activists. Analysis of the data uses the Spradley model, namely the analysis of cultural content. The results study namely: a) people in rural Java still consider that the building is a symbol of tolerance in the community; and b) the historical knowledge and unity in diversity (In Java: bhinneka tunggal ika) is a driving factor in the formation of a community mindset about tolerance and social harmony. The conclusion is that although it is old, the building is still relevant as a glue for the people in rural Java who have diversity in terms of ethnicity, culture, and religion.
