It lobbied for the rights of Hindus in Bali after Hinduism became a state sponsored religion (along with Buddhism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism) in 1959. From 1960-64 it was known as Parisada Hindu Dharma Bali'. In 1964 however it began to stress a religious rather than regional character and changed its name to Parisada Hindu Dharma Indonesia[1]
It sent out many Balinese missionairies to outlying areas like Medan [2]. In 1992, the Parisada hosted the Vishva Hindu Parishad conference in Bali, indicating a building of bridges with the worldwide Hindu community[3].
It is the highest religious body in Bali and is given an official sanction by the government to look maters of Hindu law. The PHDI in this manner has become a rallying organization for the preservation of Hindu customs.[4]
The PHD has contested Indoneisa's demographic counts, saying that the 6,501,680 count (given by the government of Indonesia) grossly undercounts the Hindu population,[5] staing that it is closer to 18 million [6]
The Parisada has lobbied for building restrictions near temples and places of worship in Bali [7]
