This research uses qualitative methods with phenomenological research types. The theory used is the theory of sociologist Emile Durkheim, namely functionalism, which states that tradition is a belief system related to sacred objects and has a social function. The data sources in this study are the Head of Tamansari Village, Community Leaders (Kyai/Ustadz), and community members of Tamansari Village who carry out endhog-endhogan traditions. Observation, interviews, and documentation are used to carry out data collection techniques. The data obtained in the field is analyzed using descriptive analysis, describing the data through words and drawing conclusions. The results revealed that the sandhog and hogan tradition had been carried out in Tamansari Village, Tegalsari District, Banyuwangi Regency, since 1981. Holding the Endhog-Endhogan tradition preserves local culture and increases people's love for the Prophet SAW. In the Endhog tradition, many philosophical meanings are embodied as symbols. The symbol comprises bamboo stems, flowers, soul mates, and eggs.
