Banjar Ethnography, Food Symbolism, Religious Ritual, Wadai ApamAbstract
This study aims to uncover the symbolic meaning of wadai apam in the religious rituals of the Banjar community in Banua Hanyar Village, Pandawan District, Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency, South Kalimantan Province. The goal is to understand the cultural and spiritual importance of wadai apam in Banjar religious practices while preserving and documenting the connection between food, spirituality, and tradition. The research employs a qualitative approach, gathering data through interviews and literature reviews. Findings show that wadai apam holds profound cultural, spiritual, and symbolic significance. As a symbolic medium, it helps sustain traditions and strengthen social bonds. In batumbang apam, it is used to seek blessings, protection, and fulfill vows. In baayun maulid, it represents gratitude for a child’s birth and hopes for their noble character, inspired by Prophet Muhammad. In the manujuh hari death ritual, wadai apam is offered as almsgiving to pray for the deceased and foster social ties. During pilgrimages to the graves of saints and scholars, it reflects sincerity and hopes for prayers to be accepted. Overall, wadai apam functions not only as physical nourishment but also as a symbol of cultural communication, identity, and the preservation of Banjar traditions.
