This research is a case study using a qualitative approach with data collection by interview and observation. Results of this research prove that religious harmony in Palangka Raya is running well and it is based on the fact that in its city almost never happened such as significant religious conflicts. Religious harmony is based on a harmonious relationship by visiting each other in religious activities and social activities.
