In general, tradition is a culture of society who cling to the norms that have been outlined by its predecessors. This form of tradition concerns the important ritual of the human being upon entering a special stage of life which involves ritual and prayer. The case of traditions and rituals space that occurred in Kadilangu Demak illustrates the element of religious submission that does not eliminate the tradition that has been running before. While the Islamic religion introduced by the Wali does not necessarily change the Hindu tradition into Islam in total. Kadilangu community even has a tradition that comes from Hindu culture and adapted to the teachings of Islam. The question is to what extent do these two aspects affect the structure of cultural space and religious rituals use? It takes a descriptive observational approach to the phenomenon that occurs based on cultural space and religious rituals so that it can explain its development and characteristics of cultural messages to be conveyed. Although the two aspects occur in an unlikely time there is a difference in the character of space that keeps the settled community and the pilgrims having an effect on the spiritual ritual.
