Abstract:
Human activity is in a cultural and communication environment to build a unity of creativity, taste and intention in the learning process. Communication provides space for humans to think, perceive, and make decisions. Intercultural communication occurs between two or more people from different socio-cultural backgrounds. Intercultural communication aims to form a harmonious life, unite cultural differences to form a new culture without leaving the original culture so that it remains sustainable. For Hindus, the temple is a sacred place to worship Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa. Dalem Betawi Temple is very unique in its Buddhist Shiva concept. There are two different cultures that unite in the Dalem Betawi Temple area, namely the uniqueness of the Gedong Ratu Kaler shrine, a place to worship Dewi Kwan Im whit a Buddhist concept. Intercultural communication plays a role in maintaining harmonious interactions between the Padukuhan community as temple patrons and Chinese people who come to worship and pray. Intercultural communication is also used to equate people's perceptions of the existence of temples so as to build a sense of solidarity and create harmonious religious moderation. A qualitative method with a descriptive approach is used in this study together the necessary information and to analyze and draw conclusions.
