Pesarean Gunung Kawi is the burial site of two Islamic propagators in East Java, Eyang Djoego and RM Iman Soedjono. Pilgrims visit the place to perform ngalab berkah ‘finding good fortune’rituals. In the ceremony, sajen ‘offerings’ are being served to God Almighty and prayers are being cited, mediated through the spirits of the two figures buried in the site. This study aims to reveal the structure and function of a prayer cited during the ngalab berkah rituals in Pesarean Gunung Kawi. Using qualitative method, we describe the structure and function of prayer in the performed rituals. Data used in this study are in the form of texts of prayers and photo documentation, which were taken during our visit as pilgrims. We also conducted interviews with juru kunci ‘caretaker of the burial site’, pengujub ‘prayer reader’, and other pilgrims. We interpreted the data using hermeneutic theory to reveal that the contents of the prayer can be categorized into opening, body, and closing. The prayer has two functions, individual and social. Individually, the prayer is a token of gratitude to the blessings from God and the two figures buried there. On the other hand, the prayer can socially function as a medium to foster tolerance and build solidarity between religious and ethnic communities.
