The Perang Topat tradition is a unique form of cultural communication practiced in Lingsar Village, West Lombok, which unites Balinese Hindus and Sasak Muslims in a shared ritual procession. This study aims to describe the forms of cultural communication within the tradition and analyze its implications for strengthening religious moderation. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that cultural communication in the Perang Topat tradition manifests in verbal, nonverbal, and symbolic forms. Symbols such as ketupat (rice cake), buffalo, ceremonial umbrellas, and the sacred sites of Pura Gaduh and Kemaliq serve as mediums to express values of tolerance, harmony, and peaceful coexistence. The tradition functions not only as cultural preservation but also as a medium for internalizing religious moderation values, strengthening inclusive local identity, and fostering communal tolerance. Thus, Perang Topat stands as an effective model of cultural communication in promoting harmony within a multicultural society.
