This study aims to descriptively examine the stages of the Seren Taun ritual, identify the meanings embedded in each stage, and analyze the strategies employed by the indigenous community to sustain the continuity of the ritual amid ongoing social changes. The research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data validity was ensured through the application of technique triangulation and source triangulation. The findings indicate that the Seren Taun ritual is carried out through a series of structured stages that are interconnected with one another. Each stage embodies symbolic meanings that reflect religious values, social solidarity, adherence to customary norms, and respect for nature as a source of life. Furthermore, the indigenous community of Kasepuhan Guradog employs various strategies to preserve the Seren Taun ritual, including the intergenerational transmission of customary values, the active involvement of younger generations in traditional activities, and the strengthening of customary institutions in regulating and supervising the implementation of the ritual. Thus, the Seren Taun ritual functions not only as a cultural tradition but also as an essential means of maintaining social identity and ensuring the continuity of local wisdom within the indigenous community of Kasepuhan Guradog.
