This study uses a qualitative descriptive method. The form of adaptation in the implementation of the pitra yadnya ceremony in the Hindu community in the location of research is indicated by a change in the implementation of the pitra yadnya ceremony which previously emphasized the family aspect to become the mass of pitra yadnya ceremony.
