A critical and comprehensive investigation of the Botram Harmony tradition may solve Indonesia's socio-religious issues, including intolerance and extremism. This study found that the Harmony Botram tradition embodies the Islamic washatiyah precept that diversity is beautiful. Then, the Botram Harmony tradition may promote unity, harmony, and societal issues like intolerance and extremism. This study just covers Botram Harmony. As a result, it is expected that multicultural Indonesia will develop new social connecting techniques.
