Hinduism is the third-largest religion in Indonesia, based on civil registration data in 2022 from Ministry of Home Affairs, is practised by about 1.69% of the total population, and almost 87% of the population in Bali. Hinduism was the dominant religion in the country before the arrival of Islam and is one of the six official religions of Indonesia today.[2] Hinduism came to Indonesia in the 1st-century through Indian traders, sailors, scholars and priests.[3] A syncretic fusion of pre-existing Javanese folk religion, culture and Hindu ideas, that from the 6th-century also synthesized Buddhist ideas as well, evolved as the Indonesian version of Hinduism.[4] These ideas continued to develop during the Srivijaya and Majapahit empires.[5] About 1400 CE, these kingdoms were introduced to Islam from coast-based Muslim traders, and thereafter Hinduism, which was previously the dominant religion in the region, mostly vanished from many of the islands of Indonesia.[6][7]
Indonesia has the fourth-largest population of Hindus in the world, after India, Nepal and Bangladesh.[8] Though being a minority religion, the Hindu culture has influenced the way of life and day-to-day activities in Indonesia.[9] Outside of Bali, many adherents of traditional indigenous religions identify as Hindus in order to gain official recognition.
