The Lingsar Temple and its festival belong to Lombok’s Muslims and Hindus. The relations between these two religious groups are often characterised in line with the idealised pluralism of Indonesia’s national ‘unity in diversity’ motto. In this context, I studied the array of emic perspectives. In this article, I discuss problems with conceptual vocabulary. The vocabulary that aspires to be emic is relational and multi-layered. It is entangled with indigenous, colonial, academic, national, religious, and touristic discourses
