Hinduism has the concept of worshiping God in the aspect of Saguna Brahman. This includes the worship of Bhatara Sakti Ravana in Banjar Wates Tengah. The existence of this cult has become both an icon and a mystery to the Central Banjar Wates. This happens because Ravana is generally told as an antagonist (evil) in the epic Ramayana. The appearance of Ravana's tapel in the middle of Wates has magically become a mystery that needs to be solved. Hindus in the Central Wates Banjar also feel the many miracles given by this Ravana tapel. Therefore, this research is very important in order to reveal the existence of the worship of Bhatara Sakti Ravana and its influence on Hindus in Banjar Wates Tengah. This study reveals how the form, function and meaning are contained in the worship of Bhatara Sakti Ravana. The theory used in this research is the theory of religion and the theory of symbolic interactionism. This type of research is qualitative with Hindu theological approach. The results of the research are presented systematically so that they are easy to understand. From the results of the study, it can be understood that the worship of Bhatara Sakti Ravana begins with the appearance of the mask of Ravana magically. The Banten used in this worship is special according to local customs. The leaders of the worship ceremony for Bhatara Sakti Ravana are three special stakeholders. The function of worshiping Bhatara Sakti Ravana is the first as a means of religion, namely connecting humans with God.
