The Tenggerese people[a] are a sub-ethnic group of Javanese in eastern Java who claim to be the descendants of the Majapahit princes. Their population of roughly 100,000 is centered in 30 villages in the isolated Tengger mountains (Mount Bromo) in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in eastern Java. Majority of Tenggerese population profess Java Hinduism as their religion. The Tenggerese people are the only Javanese ethnic group who have remained Hindu since the Majapahit era after the Osing people which has been Islamized.
Scattered communities of Tenggerese also exist in the Pasuruan, Probolinggo, Malang, and Lumajang Regencies of eastern Java. They are traditionally believed to be the descendants of legendary Roro Anteng and Joko Seger.[6] The Tenggerese are considered an ethnic sub-group of the Javanese people.
